Critics Review

“With analysis across nearly every sector of the justice system, this groundbreaking collection frames the COVID-19 pandemic as not just a public health emergency but also an unprecedented natural experiment in the social scientific study of crime and justice. It should be widely read.” Shadd Maruna, Queen’s University Belfast
