abstract |
It has been claimed that paradoxically, following the re-establishment of the Scottish
Parliament in 1999, Scottish criminal justice policy, hitherto more liberal and less
punitive than ‘south of the Border’, became more closely aligned with London-based
policies. It has also been argued that the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) Scottish
government has, since gaining power in 2007, reversed that trend in a process of ‘retartanization’.
Closer examination reveals a far more complex picture. Based on interviews with key
players and observers, this article suggests that there is room for a more nuanced
understanding of policy, policy shifts and reform in the years leading up to and following
1999. The Scottish example raises important questions about the impact of new legislative
and executive institutions, the respective influences of civil servants, special advisers,
politicians, local government, media, public opinion and individual personalities
on criminal justice policy, particularly in a small jurisdiction. It also raises questions
about the relative importance of local, national, territorial and global influences
on criminal justice policy of relevance to other devolved nations. |
