This article considers the relationship between research and politics within the criminal justice system and how this has developed over the last decade and more.
Abstract
The author writes from the perspective of research within the government and identifies the many policy and political motivations which result in research being commissioned. It is shown that many problems recur. Despite progress they remain finally unresolved so the basic research agenda changes comparatively little. This argues against the contention that there has been a recent politicization of criminal justice research issues. (Author abstract)
