Managing Criminal Justice: Public Service Reform Writ Small?

Author

  • Chris Painter

Abstract

This article deals synoptically with analytical reform themes taking shape in criminal justice in the UK over the past 25 years but especially the hallmark of New Labour's ‘modern managerialism’. It addresses value and cultural tensions surrounding attendant changes, which provide another demonstration of the limits to what can be achieved through top-down approaches. The article considers whether criminal justice reform is symptomatic of a tendency for management prescriptions in public services to have too little regard for the distinctive contexts of discrete policy sectors.
