      abstract = {This book is an excellent resource for students in law,  criminology, policing and social work as well as  practitioners and policymakers; indeed, anyone seeking to  understand the complexities of Australian Courts. - Elaine  Barclay, retired Associate Professor in Criminology A book  which explores the contexts, complexities and challenges of  courts is therefore extremely timely and, given the dearth  of systematic reviews in this area, presents a wonderful  contribution to better understanding what Australian courts  do and how they work. It provides an excellent informed  introduction to one of our most important social  institutions. - Rob White, Emeritus Distinguished Professor  of Criminology Australian Courts: Challenges, Controversies  and Change brings together scholars and practitioners in a  comprehensive and unique exploration of courts in  Australia. It identifies existing controversies and  challenges associated with Australian courts, and proposes  a suite of reforms within various Australian jurisdictions.  As the first comprehensive edited collection to canvas the  diversity of courts in Australia, this book provides a  critical analysis of contemporary issues, debates and  reforms. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it  considers courts across state, territory and national  jurisdictions, including the coroners court, family court,  criminal, civil court, Indigenous sentencing courts and  problem-solving courts. It also considers an array of  issues, such as the relationships between parliaments and  the courts, the place of victims, the impacts of justice  delayed, and the role of the media all matters which arise  for court users and practitioners in different court  settings. Marg Camilleri is a senior lecturer in  criminology and criminal justice at Federation University  Australia. Alistair Harkness is a senior lecturer in  criminology and co-director of the Centre for Rural  Criminology at the University of New England in Australia.  .},
