From the Back Cover
"The authors have crafted an excellent account of the challenges confronting the criminal justice system and its stakeholders...and the book offers an authoritative overview of contemporary issues within the criminal justice process. Davies, Croall and Tyrer have provided a work that is simultaneously thorough in its coverage but one that will also be accessible to students. The authors need to be congratulated on their endeavours. Recommended."

"The book is written with great clarity and authority. It succeeds in explaining key concepts and policy issues in a succinct manner as well as provoking fresh debate about future directions in criminal justice. An excellent resource for students!"
