The booklist that
follows is neither comprehensive, nor, you will be relieved to hear compulsory!
However it would be very useful to undertake some background reading before
diving headlong into the depths of the criminal justice sector. A little
preparation goes a very long way. Most of the titles are readily available,
those that are not can be ordered through one of the organisations listed
below.
