David Faulkner 
Crime, State and Citizen [PDF ebook] 

This Second Edition takes account of the 'new politics’ of Law and order and public safety in the UK and elsewhere in the wake of events in the USA on 11 September 2001 and London Bombings of 2005 – as well as considering developments such as a National Offender Management Service (NOMS) and 'contestability’. Crime, State and Citizen had a considerable impact when first published in 2001. David Faulkner’s work comprises an unrivalled overview of criminal justice and penal affairs, including at its core an analysis of fundamental questions about how the actions of the state, police and other public services are to be balanced with the democratic rights and legitimate expectations of ordinary citizens.
