Public Confidence in Criminal Justice

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book critiques the overreliance on survey methods in assessing public perceptions of the criminal justice system. Liz Turner highlights how this focus on quantitative data has overshadowed qualitative insights, resulting in a superficial understanding of public confidence. She argues that this trend aligns with neoliberal political ideologies that treat citizens as consumers, rather than engaging them in deeper, more meaningful discussions about justice. The work calls for a reevaluation of methodologies to better capture the complexities of public opinion.
