Criminal Offense, Justice and Society in Scotland is an edited collection of chapters from leading experts that builds and broadens upon the success of the 2010 publication Criminal Justice in Scotland to use an extensive and crucial introduction of Scottish criminal justice and its relation to wider social inequalities and social justice. This new volume considers criminal justice in the context of the Scottish politics and the recent referendum on self-reliance and it includes a conversation of the complex relationships in between criminal justice and devolution, nationalism and country building. There are new chapters on research study and policy, sectarianism, gangs, victims and justice, organised criminal offense and criminal offenses of the effective in Scotland, as well as chapters assessing the use of electronic tracking, desistance and practice, and major modifications in the structure of Scottish policing. Comprehensive and topical, this book is important reading for academics and students in the fields of criminal justice, criminology, law, social science and social policy. It will also be of interest to practitioners, researchers, policymakers, civil servants and politicians.
