{"product_id":"justice-democracy-and-the-jury-hardback","title":"Justice, Democracy and the Jury - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1997, this volume recognises that on trial in every criminal case heard by a jury is not only the defendant but the democratic premise that ordinary citizens are capable of sitting in judgement on that defendant. The jury is a quintessential democratic institution, the lay cog in a criminal justice machine dominated by lawyers, judges and police. Today, however, the jury finds itself under attack – on the right, for perverse verdicts, and, on the left, for miscarriages of justice. \u003ci\u003eJustice, Democracy and the Jury\u003c\/i\u003e is an attempt to place the jury within a historical, political and philosophical framework, and to analyse the decision-making processes at work on a jury. The book also examines whether the model of the jury can be adapted to other decision-making contexts and whether \"citizens juries\" can be used to revive a flagging democracy and to empower the people on issues of public concern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583546745070,"sku":"9780367026660","price":184.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367026660.jpg?v=1721100161","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/justice-democracy-and-the-jury-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
