Crime is the favourite topic of talk-back 'shock jocks' and self-important newspaper columnists. Lurid accounts of the doings of crims and corrupt cops, the use of mangled statistics, 'crime waves' and calls for politicians, judges, police (someone, anyone) to 'get tough on crime' always find an audience. 'Zero tolerance policing' and 'mandatory sentencing' are the latest demands of those trading on public anxiety. Nicholas Cowdery knows the criminal justice system inside out. A noted advocate, he's decided to demolish the claims of those who dominate the airways in a series of crisp and witty essays which set the record straight.
