Responses to Crime
Written by Britain's current Chairman of the Parole Board and former Home Office Minister, this book offers provocative insights into crime by a man uniquely qualified to describe the mechanisms of Britain's criminal justice system. Lord Windlesham discusses contrasting types of offenders,
their victims, and a range of germane issues--including penal policy and public opinion, the treatment of mentally disordered offenders, the murder penalty, delinquency and drugs, alternatives to imprisonment, and the politics of crime--finally singling out those policies that are most likely to
contribute to the greater protection of the public.
