[About the book]
The existence of the separate criminal jurisdiction in Scotland is ignored by most
criminological texts purporting to consider crime and criminal justice in 'Britain'
or the 'UK'. This book offers a critically-informed analysis and understanding of
crime and criminal justice in contemporary Scotland. It considers key areas of criminal
justice policy making in Scotland; in particular the extent to which criminal justice
in Scotland is increasingly divergent from other UK jurisdictions as well as pressures
that may lead to convergences in particular areas, for instance, in relation to trends
in youth justice and penal policy.
The book considers the extent to which Scottish crime and criminal justice is being
affected both by devolution as well as the wider pressures resulting from globalization,
Europeanisation and new patterns of migration.
While the book has a Scottish focus, it also offers new ways of thinking about criminal
justice – relating these issues to wider social divisions and inequalities in contemporary
Scottish and UK society. It extends the ‘gaze’ and analysis of criminology by exploring
issues such as environmental crime, urban disorder and the new urbanism as well as
crimes of the rich and powerful and corporate crime, giving it a relevance and resonance
far beyond Scotland.
Criminal Justice in Scotland will be an essential text for students in Scotland taking
courses in criminology, sociology, social policy, social sciences, law and police
sciences, as well as criminal justice practitioners and policy makers in Scotland.
It will also be an essential source for students of comparative criminology elsewhere
and academics wishing to take Scotland into account in thinking about criminal justice
in the UK. |
