Can the criminal justice system achieve justice based on its ability to determine the truth? Drawing on a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, this book investigates the concept of truth - its complexities and nuances - and scrutinizes how well the criminal justice process facilitates truth-finding. From allegation to sentencing, the chapters take the reader on a journey through the criminal justice system, exposing the marginalization of truth-finding in favour of other jurisprudential or systemic values, such as expediency, procedural fairness and the presumption of innocence. This important work bridges the gap between what people expect from the criminal justice system and what it can legitimately deliver.
"A great read for the student fresh to the subject as well as for the jaded practitioner. . . a refreshing and up-to-date analysis of the failures of our current processes. " Criminal Law Review
Gavin Dingwall is Professor of Criminal Justice Policy at De Montfort University. Tim Hillier is Head of the School of Law at De Montfort University.
