* Backed by the Magistrates' Association * Coincides with the 650th anniversary of JPs. * Essential reading for criminal justice practitioners. * The key text at a critical time for government and the courts. * Supported by a substantial media campaign. * A celebratory volume and collection piece. After 650 years justices of the peace find themselves at a crossroads. This book looks at the role of one of the UK's oldest institutions in a rapidly changing world. Well-informed, thought-provoking and published at a critical time when government is looking to find ever more efficient and cost-effective ways to deliver justice, this book by leading commentators from the courts, universities, the media and the magistracy itself sets examines the options for the future. It looks at economic and other pressures as well as demands for new kinds of community justice and changing ideas about public and voluntary service. It's sheer breadth, expertise and diversity of views means it will be in demand across the criminal justice system as the best word on the subject. What is the modern-day role of the magistracy and how might it better serve the citizen's to whom it ultimately belongs? From an age-old institution as a bastion of democracy to the idea that there should be fresh avenues of engagement and a greater sense of a fairness and transparency, each of the distinguished contributors' chapter is valuable within what is a highly innovative and readable work. With a Foreword by Lord Dholakia.
