Book Description

Series: Cambridge Study in Criminology | Publication Date: January 9, 1984

Leslie Wilkins, a criminologist respected on both sides of the Atlantic, argues for the need of adopting new techniques, borrowed from consumerism, to deal with crime analysis. Believing that the public, or consumer of criminal justice services, has fared poorly from the existing criminal justice system, he suggests that better 'market research' and management techniques will, if adopted, improve the understanding of both crime and sentencing.
