Publisher's Synopsis
This is the second of two books by Graef, the first being "Living Dangerously", which extend further his investigations into law, order and justice in Britain. He addresses the fundamental questions of how law is made and enforced, how offenders are treated in the courts and in prison, and how effective all these things are in tackling the problems of criminality which we face. The author compares the whole of the British criminal justice system with that in other countries in Europe and in America.
