Reviews
"This book is an essential corrective to the tendency to discuss criminal justice solely in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and economy. Well-known scholars are joined by newer voices in this wide-ranging and inter-disciplinary collection to show that criminal justice is irreducibly concerned with values and moral judgements." Professor Robert Canton, De Montfort University Leicester
"This is a timely, imaginative and thoughtful book which sets a new agenda for criminology.Examining allegiances and rights in different areas of criminological research, policy and practice, the contributors pose some searching questions about values and `whose side we are on'." Professor Loraine Gelsthorpe, University of Cambridge. President of the British Society of Criminology
