The New Ministry of Justice and The New Home Office (2 Book Set)
An Introduction
These are the first and as of now only books to describe the post 2007 UK systems of justice and law enforcement. They are also dynamic and ahead of any criminology text in assessing the type and impact of key institutional changes. Anyone purporting to write or research on UK or comparative matters of crime and punishment cannot really afford to be without them without appearing to be out of date. They also contain a full historical and developmental context.

Reviews
'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
'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 (re: The New Ministry of Justice)
'A sound and practical book that is useful for both the newcomer and the seasoned practitioner. For a small book, it is incredibly comprehensive and yet easy to read': The Justices' Clerk (re: The New Home Office)
