Description

Criminal justice is often described as a system: as an integrated set of processes all forming part of one coherent social practice. For others, criminal justice is best seen as a diverse array of agencies and practices, all operating with their own discrete values and goals. This volume selects extracts from key texts reflecting the rich complexity of criminal justice.
