Following in the tradition of the Clarendon Law Series, Criminal
Justice is an extended essay on the core concepts, structures, and
processes of the criminal justice system. The book prefers
theoretical reflection above detailed description and favours
provocative questions over simple answers. Its primary aim is to
stimulate students of criminal justice to think critically about
what they have learned. Criminal Justice challenges conventional
understanding of crime, criminal justice and punishment by
revealing their meanings to be open to multiple interpretations. It
explores the historical contingency and cultural specificity of the
institutions and practices of criminal justice. And it considers
the many, often conflicting, roles fulfilled by the various players
in the criminal process. In so doing, it reveals criminal justice
to be more diverse and its purposes more contested than
conventional accounts allow. The book concludes by examining
radical changes in crime control and the pursuit of security and
considering their import for criminal justice as we know it.
