Not as good as expected. Entirely lacking in analysis of the biases inherent in our criminal justice system.

Summaries of trials that occurred in the Old Bailey straddling 100 years. Interesting reflecting the changes in society.

There were negatives. I wasn’t always convinced by the authors choice of cases that took place in the number one court over the last century, and the preambles to the cases were often overly long and not always relevant. It was however strangely addictive, and a policy of selectivity made it an interesting read. I loved the fact that he constantly referred to Queen’s Council colloquially as ‘silks’.
