This is a timely, thought-provoking book which challenges us to re-evaluate our interpretations of justice, human rights, proportionality and the criminal justice system. Underpinned by critical thinking and rigorous scholarship throughout, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking a more nuanced understanding of the precarious balance between ‘effective’ justice policies and our civil liberties.
