Responses to Crime

Volume 4: Dispensing Justice

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Crown Prosecution Service, Legal Aid, and the Probation Service have been reorganized; a new system of youth justice instituted; and mandatory sentencing, inherited from the Conservatives, preserved and extended. This volume contains detailed commentaries on the controversy over access to jury trial, the not yet completed reform of criminal legal aid, and the policy imperative of strengthening the enforcement of community penalties. 'Dispensing Justice' also includes a comparative study of the development of public defender systems for indigent persons charged with criminal offences in the United States.
