Description
An uncompromising appraisal of the unique penal crisis affecting Britain and other Western-style democracies. Escalating resort to prisons, longer sentences, overcrowded and ineffective regimes, high rates of re-offending and eclectic penal policy all combine to fuel this crisis, whilst failing to reduce offending. In this new book, David J Cornwell, author of the acclaimed Criminal Punishment and Restorative Justice (ISBN 9781904380207), argues that the symptoms of this penal malaise are grounded in media sensationalism of crime and the need of politicians and their advisers to retain electoral credibility. Change is long overdue, but it requires a fresh, contemporary penology based on Restorative Justice. The book challenges the status quo, asks ‘different questions’ and places victims of crime at the centre of the criminal justice process. Reviews: ‘The reader is challenged to ask different questions about “true justice” in a book which provides true food for thought in well argued fashion’: The Justices’ Clerk ‘David Cornwell seeks to drill down into [the key] issues. This book identifies the organizational stresses and strains, the target-setting, the policy “blips” and all the problems of trying to bring radical change to our criminal justice system’: Sir Charles Pollard QPM Director, Restorative Solutions, former Chief Constable, Thames Valley Police Service ‘An important and timely contribution to the literature’: Mark S Umbreit. ‘One of the leading writers in the [restorative justice] campaign… intelligent and helpful… an urgent call to action particularly about the penal crisis which hangs permanently over this country’s head’: Justice of the Peace
