The New Ministry of Justice - An Introduction (Paperback, 2nd edition)

This is the first and as of now only book to describe the post 2007 UK systems of justice and law enforcement. It is 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on UK or comparative matters of crime and punishment cannot really afford to be without them without appearing to be out of date.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. This timely publication, concerning fundamental changes to the constitutional arrangements in the UK, outlines the new Ministry of Justice created by the British Government in May 2007. It is part of a two book set, with The New Home Office: An Introduction, 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 Inspecto
