The exercise of discretion in the criminal justice system and
related agencies often plays a key part in decisions which are
made, but definitions of discretion are not clear, and despite
widespread recognition of its importance there is much controversy
on its nature and legitimacy. This book seeks to explore the
importance of discretion to an understanding of the nature of the
'making of justice' in theory and practice, taking as its starting
point the wide discretionary powers wielded by many of the key
players in the criminal justice and related systems. It focuses on
the core elements and contexts of discretion, looking at the power,
ability, authority and duties of individuals, officials and
organisations to decide, select or interpret vague standards,
requirements or statutory uncertainties.
