Crime, State and Citizen: A Field Full of Folk - David Faulkner

This Second Edition takes account of the 'new politics' of law and order and public safety in the UK and elsewhere in the wake of events in the USA on 11 September 2001 and London Bombings of 2005 - as well as considering developments affecting courts, policing, prisons and probation. Crime, State and Citizen had a considerable impact when first published in 2001. David Faulkner's work comprises an unrivalled overview of criminal justice and penal affairs, including at its core an analysis of fundamental questions about how the actions of the state, police and other public services are to be balanced with the democratic rights and legitimate expectations of ordinary citizens. As Rod Morgan notes in a new Foreword, David Faulkner's work contains 'an unusually broad and penetrating analysis of criminal justice policy yoked to a deep, personal commitment to an ethical view of the proper role of the state and the rights of citizens'. Indeed, Crime, State and Citizen is a book of immense stature with its wide horizons yet penetrating detail: and resonates even more strongly five years on in a new era of crime, punishment, sentencing, policing, prison, probation, restorative justice and victim and offender-based issues. A CLASSIC WORK - WORTHY OF ITS PLACE IN ANY LIBRARY Reviews 'The best book I have ever read on Criminal Justice': Justice Of The Peace (Review of the First Edition) 'This volume is a 'must read' not only for students and scholars of criminal justice but also for the community of practioners who work within it too': Vista
