Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an important contribution to debates over the role of Muslims in British society generally, as well as their experiences of and involvement in the criminal justice system and the policy implications that arise from this. It is a particularly timely collection in light of both the recent disturbances in several northern English cities, as well as the impact of the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath.
