Description and Table of Contents
Description
The editors examine politics, crime, and criminal justice in the US against a background of attempts to re-establish political accountability for the criminal justice process. Most of the articles are based on original field research across a large number of jurisdictions and approaches. 'Politics' is here defined as the relations of power and influence that occur between those who are professionally involved in the criminal justice system, and those who are part of the political apparatus.
