Description
Summary:Part of a special issue on criminal justice at the new millennium. The writers discuss social wrongs and human rights in late modern Britain. They review the achievements of the Labour Party in relation to social exclusion and criminal justice, and situate developments and debates in contemporary and comparative contexts. They examine Labour's attitude to imprisonment, policing, human rights, and social exclusion and justice. They conclude that the aims of reversing social wrongs seem to be in need of a renewed impetus and that their proposal for a public criminology is about giving elements of social justice back to the public.
