This edited collection offers the first system-wide account of the impact of COVID-19 on crime and justice in England and Wales.

It provides a critical discussion of the challenges faced by criminal justice agencies (prison, probation, youth justice, courts, police), professionals and service users in adapting to the extraordinary pressures of the pandemic on policy, practice and lived experience.

The text integrates first-hand narrative and artistic accounts from a variety of key stakeholders experiencing the Criminal Justice System (CJS). The editors recommend a range of evidence-based policy and practice improvements, not only in terms of planning for future pandemics, but also those that will benefit the CJS and its stakeholders in the longer term.

Reviews for Crime, Justice and COVID-19

"""With analysis across nearly every sector of the justice system, this groundbreaking collection frames the COVID-19 pandemic as not just a public health emergency but also an unprecedented natural experiment in the social scientific study of crime and justice. It should be widely read."" Shadd Maruna, Queen's University Belfast ""This timely, hugely valuable book makes a unique contribution to our understanding of criminal justice during the pandemic. By bringing underlying and systemic issues into stark illumination, the volume examines the system as a whole, allowing comparison across its constituent parts."" Neal Hazel, University of Salford"
