‘The different parts of the United Kingdom have increasingly divergent criminal justice systems. Consequently, this first full-scale treatment of crime and justice in contemporary Scotland comes at a hugely important time. This volume is ambitious in intent, broad in scope, and critical in approach. It should be welcomed with open arms and will undoubtedly be required reading for anyone interested not just in Scotland, but in the complex territory of crime and justice in Europe.’ - Tim Newburn, Professor of Criminology and Social Policy, London School of Economics, UK‘This edited collection is both an accessible and comprehensive overview of current debates and issues in crime and justice in Scottish society, as well as an intellectually challenging polemic on the present and future prospects for social justice in this society. It will be a "must go-to" book for students in criminology and the social sciences more generally.’ - Gordon Hughes, Chair in Criminology, School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University, UK‘Crime, Justice and Society in Scotland provides the reader with an illuminating and timely contribution to our understanding of criminal justice politics and policymaking in contemporary Scottish society. This perceptive collection of essays not only challenges notions about the "distinctiveness" of Scottish criminal justice in the post-devolution era, but also reflects significantly on wider structural issues concerning social inequality, power and social justice.’ - Jacqueline Tombs, Professor of Criminology and Social Justice and Director of the Institute for Society and Social Justice Research, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK
