Contemporary Issues in Global Criminal Justice

Edited by Ed Johnston and Sophie Marsh - Contributions by Raquel Borges Blázquez; Zoran Burić; Toni Carr; Mehzeb Chowdhury; Freya Doughty; Richard Hester; Ed Johnston; Jack James; Elizabeta Ivičević Karas; Eamon P. H. Keane; Gordana Lažetić; Sarah Lloyd; Sophie Marsh; Eric Myles; Elena Mujoska-Trpevska and Anna Pivaty

Contemporary Issues in Global Criminal Justice provides a holistic analysis of modern criminal justice issues, encompassing the pre-trial, investigative, and post-conviction stages of criminal justice in legal settings across the world. The contributors acknowledge and examine the vast array of challenges in global criminal justice, from the role of the International Criminal Court to policing, the integration of technology, and how marginalized groups, such as sex workers and those with addictions, are treated in the courts. With contributions from scholars in England and Wales, New Zealand, Croatia, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, and The Republic of North Macedonia, this book is not limited to one jurisdiction, and highlights that criminal justice is very much a global issue in a state of crisis. From policing to the courts, it is in urgent need of reform. Without a competent criminal justice system, justice does not exist. This book would be of interest to scholars in the legal, criminal justice, and criminology fields.

This collection highlights a number of concerns in global criminal justice, including future trends. The issues are not limited to one particular stage of the process or a single jurisdiction, though they may be experienced differently in each country. The book highlights flaws at every step of the criminal justice process, from policing to post-conviction. The book also suggests that in the process many are marginalized, such as sex workers and those with alcohol or drug addictions. Johnston and Marsh’s book should act as a call for more study and reform in these areas. Without recognizing these flaws, injustice will continue and grow worse.
