{"product_id":"public-protection-and-the-criminal-justice-process","title":"Public Protection and the Criminal Justice Process","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a practical and theoretical analysis of public protection and criminal justice.  This area has seen immense change in recent years and the book examines the recent legislative, policy and organisational changes and their impact on the various agencies involved, including the police service and the probation service. Public protection has now assumed a position of dominance within the criminal justice agenda.  New ways of working\n\u003cbr\u003ehave necessitated changes to organisational culture, which in turn has begun to blur traditional criminal justice boundaries. Agencies must now work together by law and the public protection 'family' has\n\u003cbr\u003eextended to include a range of agencies, such as housing and leisure services.This book explores the problematic concept of 'dangerousness' and its application to criminal justice. All recent policy and legislative initiatives are examined within a critical context that questions the need for populist, punitive agendas, for example the creation of MAPPA (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Panels) and changes in relation to the National Probation Service.  Recent relevant\n\u003cbr\u003elegislative references are collated in a useful appendix at the back of the book.The book is a practical and useful reference, ideal reading for students and academics working critically\n\u003cbr\u003ein the area who wish to understand how public protection has reached its present status.  It is also a useful reference for probation officers, police officers and policy makers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44084350648558,"sku":"9780199289431","price":80.28,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199289431.jpg?v=1706246147","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/public-protection-and-the-criminal-justice-process","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
