This book offers a clear explanation and critical analysis of the
criminal justice system and of all the major stages of an
investigation including both pre-trial and trial processes. The
authors discuss the principles and theories behind how the criminal
justice system operates, and tackle the controversial issues that
continue to permeate the subject, including: policing and police
powers, the prosecution process, the rights of suspects and victims,
court processes, and appeals against conviction. Whilst no system can
ever be perfect, the authors carefully consider each element of it,
and then pose the important question: why do miscarriages of justice
occur?
Now in its third edition, this book has been thoroughly revised and
updated to take into account recent developments in the criminal
justice system. Each chapter incorporates a unique combination of
traditional legal material, empirical research findings, and
socio-legal analysis, making this book suitable for students of law,
criminology, and social science.
Readership: This book has both a wide scope to its content as
well as depth and insight and will be of value to the legal student
concentrating on criminal justice.
