Research into the criminal process usually focuses on England, however this book offers a rare insight into South Wales. Drawing on first-hand accounts of lawyers, police, and suspects, the convicted and their families, it uncovers how these affected individuals navigate the challenges caused by austerity, what has changed, and what can be done to improve the system.
