The launch of ‘Criminal Justice in Scotland’ textbook

Reflecting on the Past, Present and Future of Scottish criminal justice: a launch of Criminal Justice in Scotland

(In-person – Room LRC5, ENU Sighthill Campus, 3-5pm.)

The launch of Criminal Justice in Scotland offers a timely opportunity to bring together a range of voices together to reflect on where Scottish criminal justice is and where it’s going.

Criminal Justice in Scotland is the first textbook on the Scottish criminal justice system in a decade, written by Jamie Buchan, Sarah Anderson and Katrina Morrison (Edinburgh Napier University). Providing a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the contemporary Scottish criminal justice system, this book focuses on its key processes (from arrest to post-sentence) and institutions, as well as its history and some of the key challenges and critical issues facing Scottish criminal justice today.

Chaired by Dr Hannah Graham, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, University of Stirling.

Discussants: Dr Deborah Russo, Queen’s University Belfast and Ross Gibson, Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice/University of Strathclyde.
