Socio-Economic Offences Laws

This book analyses the weaknesses in the established political approaches to reform of the provision of justice, judging them as being either too overtly concerned with inappropriate society crimes, or too wedded to legal procedural rule. It argues that the most efficient solution is an adapted version of legal aid as a kind of welfare state benefit and more integrated public services aimed at providing justice for the citizen. The analysis applies emerging political concepts of globalization, hegemony and a closed legal system to this debate, while considering the conflicting principles of community.
