Many people will find it hard to believe that deep within key
aspects of the Law of England and Wales there lie significant
defects - such is the extent to which our laws and justice
system have been routinely described as 'the best in the world'.
This new analysis by reform group Modernising Justice demonstrates
just how wrong this view is in relation to one of the most serious
all crimes. Murder remains a common law offence based on an ancient
and somewhat vague definition and beset with an approach to
punishment still steeped in the fallout from the abolition of the
death penalty. The authors demonstrate just why change is needed.
Their arguments are set out concisely and with a directness not
often found in legal debates. Their ongoing correspondence with
successive Ministers of Justice is reproduced to demonstrate how
cautiously the Executive tends to move in an arena where law and
order policies can be judged (and elections won or lost) by popular
responses to this particular crime.
