| Description: |
This second volume of Lord Windlesham's seminal work Responses to Crime concentrates on the making of penal policy between the first post-war Criminal Justices Act in 1948 and the passage of the Criminal Justice Act 1991. The central role of government, the Home Office in particular, is brought out, as are the diverse sources of policy proposals and the influence on ministers, legislators, and civil servants. It is an insider's account, the author having hadexperience as a minister at the Home Office and for Northern Ireland, as well as Leader of the House of Lords. From 1982-88 Lord Windlesham was Chairman of the Parole Board, and became President of Victim Support in 1992. He is currently Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford. |
| Synopsis: |
Policies dealing with crime - or at least being seen to deal with it - are a central features of contemporary British political life. Crime and crime statistics receive wide exposure and evoke strong public outcry, and politicians are often judged as much by the speed and tone of their reactions as by their considered responses. In this timely volume Lord Windlesham examines how criminal justice policy is first formulated and then enacted at Parliamentary and Government level. Drawing upon scholarly material and his experience as a former Home Office Minister, Lord Windlesham identifies the pressures which traditionally and typically influence policy decisions. Emerging from his analysis is an appreciation of how the articulation of policy is often less coherent than it seems. Scholarly and accessible, this thought-provoking book will be of interest to the general reader as well as being required reading for academics and those involved in the administration of criminal justice today. |
