Book Description:
|
This book details changes to 'summary justice' in the lower tier magistrates' courts in England and Wales. It contextualises these within notions of modernisation and economic efficiency, and critically analyses whether 'procedural due process' is being challenged. It incorporates empirical research with magistrates and appraises 'lay justice' in this changing environment.
