The New Ministry of Justice
An Introduction
This is the first and as of now only book to describe the post 2007 UK system of justice. It is also dynamic and ahead of other criminology texts in assessing the type and impact of key institutional changes.
This timely publication concerning fundamental changes to Constitutional arrangements in the UK outlines the new Ministry of Justice created by the UK Government in May 2007.
Part of a two book set with The New Home Office: An Introduction and an ideal outline for busy practitioners or members of the general public alike. The New Ministry of Justice is written in the style of the acclaimed Waterside Press Introductory Series and was published in September 2007.
Reviews
'This book can be of value to us who work in within the criminal justice system (as a way of just getting off the bewilderingly speedy roundabout for a minute or two) and to those members of the public who would like to have a modicum of understanding as to what exactly is happening in the world of cirminal justice at the moment... The chief aim of this book... is to provide a basic, accessible and hopefully constructive account that will be of interest to newcomers, students and general readers as well as to those seasoned practitioners or researchers seeking a useful overview. In the view of this reviewer those aims are more than satisfactorily met': The Justices' Clerk
'Will set a standard of solidity and credibility... enthusiasm is kept within bounds and visionary schemes dealt with in measured terms': Justice of the Peace
'Gibson is to be applauded for having produced the first word on these new departments': Jamie Bennett, HMPS, Prison Service Journal
