Citizens, the State and Justice (Routledge Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice and Procedure)

This collection brings together academics, practicing lawyers and judges to offer a multidisciplinary insight into the relationship between the state and citizens through the lens of securing justice. All too often, appraisals of this fundamental subject are artificially siloed into the traditional legal topics to which they relate, such as criminal law, civil justice and constitutional rights. This volume places the relationship between citizens, the state and justice at its heart, with expertise across the legal sphere contributing to its content. It identifies common problems and challenges while readers are proffered an opportunity to explore solutions from other legal areas in order to help remedy those existing in their own.

The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Constitutional Law, Human Rights Law, Criminal Justice, Policing and Criminology.
