It covers all of the key historical topics central to an understanding of the current criminal justice system, including the development of the police, the courts and the mechanisms of punishment (from the gallows to the prison). The role of the victim in the criminal justice system, changing perceptions of criminals, long term trends in violent crime, and the rise of surveillance society also receive detailed analysis. In addressing each of these issues and developments, the authors draw on the latest research in this rapidly-expanding field to explore a range of historiographical and criminological debates. This new edition continues its exploration of criminal justice history right through to the present day and discusses recent events in the criminal justice world. Each chapter now ends with a 'Modern Parallels' section - a detailed case study providing historical analysis pertinent to a specific contemporary issue in the field of criminal justice and drawing parallels between historical context and modern phenomenon. Each chapter also includes a 'Key Questions' section, which guides the reader towards appropriate sources for further study. The authors draw on their in-depth knowledge and provide an accessible and lively guide for those approaching the subject for the first time, or those wishing to deepen their knowledge. This makes the book essential reading for those teaching or studying modules on criminal justice, policing and youth justice"--Provided by publisher.CrimeGreat BritainHistoryPoliceGreat BritainHistoryCriminal justice, Administration ofGreat BritainHistoryCrimeHistory.PoliceHistory.Criminal justice, Administration ofHistory.364.941HIS015000HIS054000SOC004000bisacshGodfrey Barry S.1114940Lawrence Paul(Paul Morgan)1201841Lawrence Paul1201841MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787926703321Crime and justice since 17503786692UNINA
