Synopsis
This innovative textbook adopts a series of vantage points to assess the historical emergence, function and purpose of modern criminal justice systems. The areas covered include: origins of the police; police powers, accountability and management; criminal courts and sentencing practices; the emergence of the prison, prison privatization; penal policy; youth justice; punishment in the community; and crime prevention and community safety.
Collectively, the chapters provide an accessible overview of the nature of contemporary British criminal justice and encourage historical, comparative and critical analysis of its powers, practices and procedures.
The book is the course text for The Open University course D315 Crime, Order and Social Control.

Review
`The articles provide comprehensive introductions to their subjects placing current issues in criminal justice policy in a historical, ideological and political context. This again provides a useful alternative to the more policy-oriented focus of many texts on criminal justice. Race and gender issues are incorporated and the new right agenda and the move towards managerial and control-oriented policies critically explored. The articles provide useful critiques of criminal justice policy and incorporate contemporary thinking about social control' - Reviewing Sociology
`Without doubt, the book succeeds in its purpose of providing an important evaluation of contemporary British criminal justice and its historical base' - The Criminologist
'An excellent read for students and academics within various disciplines' - Forensic Update
