The coalition government's promise to 'reverse the substantial erosion of civil liberties and roll back state intrusion' has remained unfulfilled, according to a wide-ranging review of its criminal justice policies in the themed section guest edited by Lee Bridges and Ed Cape.
Also in this issue of cjm are the following topical articles: Kevin Haggerty and Ariane Ellerbrok examining the cultural and historical context of serial killing; Lorraine Hope and Bridget Waller propose a simple modification to jury deliberations and Tom Considine argues that the Newlove Report could cause more problems than it solves.
