Présentation de l'éditeur

This text provides an accessible and up to date introduction to criminal justice for all those undertaking degrees and foundation degrees in policing. It will also be relevant to degree courses in criminology and criminal justice. The book provides an holistic overview of the Criminal Justice System (CJS), an exploration of the roles of key players within the system and how the police interact with these organisations. It examines some of the principles that underpin the 'modernisation' of the police, in particular how the police service collaborates with partner agencies and the rationale associated with the change agenda. A variety of topics are discussed, including debates around the effectiveness of youth justice, whether victims get a fair deal, and the impact of neighbourhood policing. Each chapter includes clear objectives, links to the NOS, practical and reflective tasks, case studies and helpful summaries.
