This paper addresses the impact of economy, efficiency, and effectiveness—the ‘three Es’—upon agencies of the criminal justice system (police and prosecution, forensic investigation, courts, probation services, and prisons) in the 1980s in Britain. It also asks whether what is happening to criminal justice signifies a shift from ‘rule of law’ towards ‘managerial justice’. It argues that the emphasis upon ‘consumer control’ has led not to more public accountability but to increased central control of criminal justice practice. Finally, it raises the issue of whether these trends form part of a wider political strategy to ‘manage’ social tensions within British society wrought by the return to notions of ‘free market’ capitalism, enterprise culture, and the ‘strong state’
