Based on official data and in-depth interviews, this urgent and challenging book provides the first academic account of the operation of the Welsh criminal justice system – a system that presides over some of the worst criminal justice outcomes in western Europe.
The first systematic account of criminal justice in self-governed Wales.
The Welsh criminal justice system is unique. While Wales has been self-governed for nearly twenty-five years, the country lacks the equivalent of Scotland or Northern Irelands independent judiciaries and justice systems. Yet the extensive responsibilities of Waless own institutions ensure that they necessarily play a significant role in criminal justice. As a result, the Welsh criminal justice system operates across a jagged edge of devolved and reserved powers and responsibilities.
This book provides the first academic account of this system. It demonstrates not only that Wales has some of the worst criminal justice outcomes in western Europe, but that even if the will existed to address these problems, the current constitutional underpinnings of the Welsh criminal justice system would make it nigh-on impossible. Based on official data and in-depth interviews, this is an urgent and challenging book, required reading for anyone interested in Welsh politics and society.
