Add to BagThe criminal justice system is in crisis, yet we feel justified on occasion in criticising British and American miscarriages of justice while tolerating or ignoring our own lapses. Meanwhile, in common with other jurisdictions we strive to deal with sexual assault/rape, the vagaries of judicial sentencing policies, and the role of the jury.
In this powerfully argued pamphlet Caroline Fennell suggests that the time is now right for national debate on the purpose of our criminal justice system. Just what is fundamental to us in our criminal justice system? How can it be changed withoutcapitulation or crisis in our value system? Questions about the fundamental nature and political morality of the Irish state need to be asked. If we wish to change direction we should do so openly, engaging in public and political debate rather than legal or judicial sleight of hand.
