Description
In the context of rising crime and dented public confidence, the authors of this work explore the changing perspectives on the justice system, how the courts system is resourced and administered, and the need for balance in its management. Three key tensions are examined: between independence and accountability of the judiciary; between interdependence and autonomy of the agencies interacting with the courts; and between justice for the defendants and for the victims. In doing so, the authors bring together the literature of both judicial studies and management, and attempt to establish a new definition of, and standard for, management in criminal justice.
