The criminal justice system is wide ranging; from the crimes
themselves and policing to the sentencing of offenders and prisons.
In this Very Short Introduction Julian V. Roberts draws upon the
latest research and current practices from a number of different
countries around the world. Focusing on the adversarial model of
justice found in common law countries such as the United States,
United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, he discusses topics such as
the uses of imprisonment, the effects of capital punishment, and
the purposes of sentencing. Considering the role of the victim
throughout the criminal justice system, as well as public knowledge
and attitudes towards criminal justice, Roberts critically assesses
the way in which the system functions and its importance around the
world. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from
