English criminal justice is in a crisis without precedent, its solutions uncertain and its effects deeply damaging. At a time when the recorded crime rate is close to an all time high, the system often fails to identify offenders; it locks up the innocent while the guilty go free ........... so says David Rose in his opening preface.

 

Read an extract from this book, The Manufacture of Crime (our page title in archive chapter 8 ), just 6 pages out of 358 and then buy the book and read the rest. It is well worth the small sum that is asked for it.
