This book is a concise introductory exploration of policing in contemporary Australia. It looks at policing within specific modern Australian institutions, while reflecting on the development of civil policing in all its forms, and across many states and privates settings. Policing is viewed in the wider sense of regulatory and power relations as demonstrated through the essential and often problematic relationships between police and diverse communities.

Australian Criminal Justice provides a complete overview of the criminal justice process. It analyses the influences that shape criminal justice and critically examines the institutional and administrative features of its operation in all jurisdictions. With a unique blend of theory, practice, critique and context, this book guides readers step by step through the stages of a case - from investigation to sentencing.

This introductory text provides an overview and critical examination of the Australian criminal justice process. It analyzes the influential matters which mould criminal justice, and examines the institutional and administrative features of its operation in Australian jurisdictions. Particular matters covered by the book include the substantive criminal law, trial procedures, the exercise of discretion and the "sites" of power bases underlying all of these. Both procedural justice in the form of written rules and universally recognised rights and protections, and substantive justice in which common sense notions of fairness and equity are dominant, are the subject of detailed discussion.

Australian Criminal Justice provides a complete overview of the criminal justice process. It analyzes the influences that shape criminal justice and examines the institutional and administrative features of its operation in all jurisdictions. Building on the rights theme of previous editions, this fourth edition more clearly highlights and discusses the "justice for all" theme present in international conventions and in the core principles of criminal justice. The authors also examine the derogation of a number of these principles--in particular, the erosion of individual right protection and due process, and conditions of criminal justice which require the recognition of fundamental presumptions in the defendant's favor.

Transforming International Criminal Justice

This book sets out an agenda to transform international criminal trials and the delivery of international criminal justice to victim communities through collaboration of currently competing paradigms. It reflects a transformation of thinking about the comparative analysis of the trial process, and seeks to advance the boundaries of international criminal justice through wider access and inclusivity in an environment of rights protection.Collaborative justice is advanced as providing the future context of international criminal trials. The book's radical dimension is its argument for the harmonization of restorative and retributive justice within the international criminal trial. The focus is initially on the trial process, a key symbol of developing international styles of justice. It examines theoretical models and political applications of criminal justice through detailed empirical analysis, in order to explore the underlying relationship of theory and empirical study, applying the outcome in theory testing and policy evaluation in several different jurisdictions. The book injects a significant comparative dimension into the study of international criminal justice.This is achieved through searching the traditional foundations of internationalism in justice by employing an original methodology to enable a multi-dimensional exploration of contexts (local, regional and global), so recognising the importance of difference within an agenda suggesting synthesis.The book argues for a concept of international trial within a 'rights paradigm', understood against different procedural traditions and practices, and provides a detailed description of trials and trial decision-making in various jurisdictions. Transforming International Criminal Justice also sets out to develop effective research strategies as part of its interrogation of specific trial narratives and meanings in contemporary legal cultures. Key themes are those of internationalisation, fair trial and the exercise of discretion in justice resolutions (sentencing in particular), and the lay/professional relationship and its dynamics. Finally, the book provides a searching critique of the relevance of existing criminology and legal sociology in relation to international criminal justice, and speculates on trial transformation and the merger of retributive and restorative international criminal justice. comparative analysis of the criminal trial process internationallyargues for harmonization of retributive and restorative justice within the international criminal trialsets out an agenda to transform international criminal trials and the delivery of international criminal justice to victim communities

International and Comparative Criminal Justice: A critical introduction

International criminal justice is in transition. This book explores the growing internationalisation of criminal justice as a phenomenon of global governance. It provides students with a critical understanding of the international institutions for regulating transnational crime, the development of alternative justice processes across the globe, and international and supra-national co-operation criminal justice policies and practices. Key topics covered include: The historical development of International Criminal Justice institutions and traditions  International Restorative Justice  Victim communities and collaborative justice  The relationship between crime and war  International Human Rights  The ‘War on Terror’  The globalisation of crime and control  Developments in global governance, communitarian justice and accountability  This text will familiarize students with the literature and debates surrounding international criminal justice and enable them to critically appreciate their theoretical and policy context. In doing so, it encourages students to assess the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to the study of global justice and the analysis of comparative policy convergence and research. It will also help students to reflect on, and communicate in an informed and critical way theoretical accounts and empirical studies within the field of international criminal justice. This book will be essential reading for upper level undergraduates taking courses in criminal law, international relations and governance and postgraduates engaged in international criminal justice, international law, regulation and governance and human rights.
