About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

This book completes Lord Windlesham's trilogy of works examining the contemporary history of criminal justice and lawmaking in the United Kingdom and the United States. Like the first two volumes, Volume Three offers a unique account of the development of the government's criminal justice legislation and the processes of policy formation, drafting and parliamentary scrutiny. His assessment of the media is of special interest, as is the examination of the influence of party "grass-roots" on the voting patterns of politicians. A comparison with the corresponding processes and political influences in the United States provides a new, highly relevant and sobering comparison. It is, however, the author's cool examination of the evidence and his trenchant expression of his own judgements which gives this contemporary history particular value for today and for generations to come.
