A source of reference for the understanding of the law and issues involved under the criminal justice system This text marks a further dimension in legal publication. Conceptualized as a workbook, an empirical approach is used in the explaining of the various stages in the administration of criminal justice: from the lodging of police report, investigations, pre-trial and trial proceeding, sentencing and the final stage, appeal. However unlike the narrative form usually used in orthodox legal publication, the authors have opted for the media of tabular charts. Material is compressed to essential elements, arranged in sequence of application and where relevant, are supported with copies of precedents. The result is a snapshot presentation of what constitute the processes of criminal justice. The various stages are explained in sufficient depth and breadth by the authors to enable the use of this publication as a source of reference for immediate understanding of the law and issues involved under the criminal justice system in its dispensing of justice.
