The New Ministry of Justice an Introduction - AND The New Home Office - an Introduction (Paperback)

These are the first and as of now only books to describe the post 2007 UK systems of justice and law enforcement. They are also dynamic and ahead of any criminology text in assessing the type and impact of key institutional changes. Anyone purporting to write or research on UK or comparative matters of crime and punishment cannot really afford to be without them without appearing to be out of date. They also contain a full historical and developmental context. The New Ministry of Justice is a timely publication concerning fundamental changes to the constitutional arrangements in the UK which outlines the new Ministry of Justice created by the British Government in May 2007. It is part of a two book set and is an ideal outline for students, researchers, teachers, and general readers alike. The contents include: --- Foreword, Preface, and Chart --- The Ministry of Justice: An Overview --- The Judiciary and Courts Service --- Prisons, Probation, and Parole --- Ombudsmen and Inspectors
