Reviews for A History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales

'Highly recommended': Choice (Current Reviews for Academic Libraries).'This is a good book from a well-respected publishing house. [It] could helpfully form part of the required reading on the programmes which develop the criminal justice system's senior managers, as well as occupying a place on the bookshelves of many other people': Prison Service Journal. 'It would be well if every criminal lawyer had a copy of this book, so rich in information and detail, but at the very least every student entering law school should have a copy and read it; thus would the intricacies of modern criminal justice law make sense. There is a rich bibliography and a comprehensive index, and at a cost of a few gallons of petrol it is a fantastic bargain': Criminal Law and Justice Weekly. 'I found this provided a comprehensive and very helpful and informative review of the history of criminal justice and will be adopting this book and placing it on the reading list for my 2nd year Justice Module students on the BA Hons in Youth Studies course that I teach': David Ellicott, Nottingham Trent University. 'Provides a comprehensive historical account of a number of different areas of criminal justice': Helen Poole, Coventry University
