This book offers a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the
criminal justice system of England and Wales. Starting with an
overview of the main theories of the causes of crime, this book
explores and discusses the operation of the main criminal justice
agencies including the police, probation and prison services and
the legal and youth justice systems. The fourth edition has been
revised, updated, expanded and features a new expert co-author.
This book offers a lively and critical discussion of some of the
main themes in criminal justice, from policy-making and crime
control, to diversity and discrimination, to the global dimensions
of criminal justice, including organised crime and the role
performed by transnational policing organisations to combat it. Key
updates to this new edition include: increased discussion of the
measurement, prevention and detection of crime; a revised chapter
on the police which discusses the principle of policing by consent,
police methods, power and governance, and the abuse of power;
further discussion of pressing contemporary issues in criminal
justice, such as privatisation, multi-agency working,
community-based criminal justice policy and the impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic on the delivery of criminal justice policy; a
revised chapter that deals in detail with new and emerging forms of
criminality and the response of the UK and global criminal justice
system to these developments. This accessible text is essential
reading for students taking introductory courses in criminology and
criminal justice. A wide range of useful features include review
questions, lists of further reading, timelines of key events and a
glossary of key terms.
