520 _aThis accessible book provides an evaluative review of justice at the locus of the magistrates’ court. Written by a magistrate, this book uses different case studies to aid discussion of the principles of justice and the theoretical process of the criminal justice system in England and Wales. Its case studies consider individual and intersecting inequalities such as sex, race, class, mental health, sexuality, age, and disability. Speaking to students, policy makers and practitioners, readers can identify opportunities where justice can be developed, as well as the challenges to justice from numerous perspectives which play out in the magistrates’ court. A series of end-of-chapter questions encourage reflection and one chapter considers recommendations for the future of justice. Elizabeth Peatfield is a former Justice of the Merseyside Criminal Court Bench and a dedicated academic leader at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. Her career reflects a deep commitment to justice, both in her judicial work and her current role, where she integrates practical experience with academic rigor. Beyond her professional achievements, Dr. Peatfield is deeply involved in community outreach, focusing on empowering underprivileged communities in Liverpool. Her work bridges the gap between legal theory and practical application, embodying her passion for equitable justice and community service.
