With a new Foreword by David Ormerod of the Law Commission. Within
the criminal justice system of England and Wales, the Crown Court
is the arena in which serious criminal offences are prosecuted and
sentenced. On the basis of up-to-date ethnographic research, this
timely book provides a vivid description of what it is like to
attend court as a victim, a witness or a defendant; the interplay
between the different players in the courtroom; and the extent to
which the court process is viewed as legitimate by those involved
in it. This valuable addition to the field brings to life the range
of issues involved and is aimed at students and scholars of
criminal justice, policy-makers and practitioners, and interested
members of the general public.
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence Effective
participation in court and tribunal hearings is regarded as
essential to justice, yet many barriers limit the capacity of
defendants, parties and witnesses to participate. Featuring policy
analysis, courtroom observations and practitioners' voices, this
significant study reveals how participation is supported in the
courts and tribunals of England and Wales. Including reflections on
changes to the justice system as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
it also details the socio-structural, environmental, procedural,
cultural and personal factors which constrain participation. This
is an invaluable resource that makes a compelling case for a
principled, explicit commitment to supporting participation across
the justice system of England and Wales and beyond.
