The Changing Contours of Criminal Justice

"Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Oxford Centre for Criminology, [this] is an edited collection of essays exploring the evolution of criminal justice over the past half century and contemplating the possible shifts over the next few decades. ... The contributors to this volume have been invited to reflect on the impact Oxford criminology has had on the discipline, providing a unique and critical discussion about the current state of criminal justice around the world and the origins and future implications of contemporary practice."--Front jacket flap.
