Description

Punishment and Politics examines the evidence and emulation underlying England and Wales' criminal justice reforms under Labour's transformative legislation. Despite substantial research investment in evidence-based policy, this book reveals how evidence application remains uncertain and controversial within criminal justice decision-making. The work addresses the paradox of millions spent on research for the criminal justice system while examining which evidence actually influences policy direction. This scholarly analysis explores the gap between rhetorical commitment to evidence-based approaches and the practical reality of how crime control policies are formulated, questioning whether technocratic considerations truly drive reform or whether other political factors dominate the policymaking process.

Key Features

Willan published this detailed examination of English and Welsh criminal justice policy reform and evidence-based decision-making processes.

The book analyses Labour's mass implementation of new criminal justice legislation and the controversial basis for these reforms.

Explores how criminal justice issues became central to wider political discourse despite uncertain evidence foundations.

Examines the disconnect between substantial research spending on the criminal justice system and actual evidence utilisation in policy.

Provides critical analysis of how evidence counts only selectively in technocratic crime control policymaking.
