'Dear Minister' letters: and other election tales

Those still following the post-election debate and speculation about roads not yet travelled in the realms of crime and justice may find a series of letters in the current edition of Criminal Justice Matters interesting. Penned by Richard Sparks and Ian Loader, and other academics, they represent a well-timed engagement with some of the issues likely to be facing the new government, and the role of criminology.

And for an intriguing round-up of the Holyrood shake-up - and fallout - after the Westminster elections, along with some speculation about the likely implications for law and justice issues, see this recent entry by our fellow Law School bloggers in Scots Law News:

    Failing which, CJM is accessible through the electronic journals search.
