Criminal Justice - Peter Joyce ... comprehensive, up to date and detailed introduction to the criminal justice system for students and practitioners needing to know about this. It assesses the main theories concerned with the causes of crime (including white collar and corporate crime), provides a detailed account and analysis of the response of the state to crime in England and Wales. It discusses the operation of all key agencies, including the police, probation and prison services, and the legal and youth justice systems. It also examines a number of contemporary issues affecting the criminal justice system, including the partnership approach to crime prevention, the implementation of the Macpherson report and the issue of race and crime more generally; and examines a number of important new areas within criminal justice, such as restorative justice.

It has a wide range of student friendly features, including questions and answers, case studies, chapter summaries, website resource guide, glossary of key terms, and is written in a highly accessible manner.

It cost me £24.50 from new, which I thought was very reasonably priced considering Legal and Criminological texts can easily be £50+. The cover of the book is a mottled blue colour with some odd patterns on... it was a while before I twigged that this was the blue light of a police car. Ooops. Anyway. I have found this book to be incredibly useful for revision, exams, essays, presentations, you name it. ...  Read the complete review
