Críticas:

'This is an outstanding introduction to the history, development and current issues of some key areas of criminal justice policy in England and Wales, covering prisons, policing, probation, sentencing, youth justice and victims...A superb student text, but also a must for anyone new to the field.' Labour Campaign for Criminal Justice, Number 35: February 1997 'Newburn deals with the issues in a precise and concise manner making it an ideal text for the busy practitioner and a starting point for students who can follow up the debates in the many references he cites. Moreover, its accessibility is increased by the tendancy to avoid the use of jargon.' British Journal of Social Work, June 1996

Reseña del editor:

The study of crime and criminal policy is a key area in social policy and sociology. This book examines the component parts of the British penal system in detail, supported by a selection of key documents, a general overview of the background of the penal system and a discussion of the future prospects of justice. Fully up-to-date it includes discussions on the 1991 Criminal Justice Act, the major prison disturbances in recent years and an examination of the Wolf report, the Home Office response and the emerging issues of privatisation.
