In our relentless pursuit of efficiency in the lower criminal courts, have we inadvertently sacrificed quality justice? Through a meticulous analysis of original stenographic data, this book unveils how an English Magistrates' courthouse often prioritized managerial efficiency at the expense of social justice and procedural due process values. With a staggering caseload of over 95% of all criminal cases, this 'over-efficiency problem' holds the potential to inflict significant social harm. Yates' work concludes by offering socio-legal and criminological insights to address this over-efficiency issue. This accessible book is of immense value to policy makers and post-graduate students alike.
