Product Description

Sanders and Young's "Criminal Justice" integrates traditional legal material and legal analysis with social science research and theory on criminal justice. All the major stages of the pre-trial and trial process are examined in turn. Particular attention is given to police powers; the rights of suspects and remedies for breach of those rights; the Crown Prosecution Service; defence solicitors; barristers; the magistrates' courts and the Crown Court; judges and juries; and appellate processes. Sanders and Young also give attention to other strategies of law enforcement, as seen in the regulation of white collar crimes like fraud, tax evasion and pollution, alternative types of procedure such as restorative justice, and the increasing use of private police forces of various kinds.

Customer Reviews

Good all round
This book is particularly good for getting information for writing law essays. It is written with a socio-legal approach in mind, rather than a black letter law approach. It approaches many of the key arguments and also cites a lot of excellent evidence, both of which will be very useful to the law student.
