Exploring the real life experiences of criminal justice professionals, this anthology is the first book to focus solely on the use of qualitative research in various components of the criminal justice system. The collection is organized from two criminal justice perspectives: one qualitatively oriented and the other system oriented, including overviews of each qualitative method and commentaries ...
Ascendancy to Oblivion
The Anglo-Irish oligarchy gave Ireland much of her modern culture and architecture--but also left a legacy that has festered violently. A highly original, insightful look at the "Troubles" traces the rise and sudden disappearance of this elite group that so dominated Irish life from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. ".pure pleasure.the most entertaining and fascinating book I have read for a long time."--Molly Keane.

The Supreme Court on Trial
The chief mandate of the criminal justice system is not to prosecute the guilty but to safeguard the innocent from wrongful convictions; with this startling assertion, legal scholar George Thomas launches his critique of the U.S. system and its emphasis on procedure at the expense of true justice. Thomas traces the history of jury trials, an important component of the U.S. justice system, since the American Founding. In the mid-twentieth century, when it became evident that racism and other forms of discrimination were corrupting the system, the Warren Court established procedure as the most important element of criminal justice. As a result, police, prosecutors, and judges have become more ...

The book is designed to be accessible to...
A Small War in the Balkans
"Much has been written about the men who served with the British Military Mission to Marshal Tito's Partisans ... Little, however, is known about the post-1943 period, when for seventeen months British commandos, gunners and special forces fought alongside the Partisans in the Dalmatian islands and in Montenegro; when the motor torpedo boats and motor gun boats of the Royal Navy ruled the waves of the Yugoslav Adriatic coast; and when the Allied air forces supplied the Partisans with massive logistic and tactical support"--P.

Police Custody
Police custody acts as an important gateway to the criminal justice process. Much is at stake here for both staff and suspects as what happens in police custody can have important consequences further down the line. This book offers a timely contribution to research on police custody, which has been largely neglected for the last decade, and it is the first to examine the growing role given to civilians employed by the police or by private security companies within police custody areas. The book draws on a mixed-method study of two custody areas, one publicly-run, and the other largely privately-run. This empirical analysis explores anew suspects’ experiences of police custody from arrest ...
