The authors take a scalpel to South Africa's system of criminal justice during the Apartheid era. They focus on the case of the Sharpeville Six to analyse how criminal justice was used to make convictions easy to secure. Analysing the technicalities of the criminal law, as well as the quality of evidence and judicial reasoning in the case against the Six, Parker and Mokhesi-Parker also convey vividly through letters from death row, the sense these people made of their impending executions and how an international campaign to save their lives succeeded with only 18 hours to spare.

A history of the men who were sentenced to hang in South Africa following the death of a deputy-mayor in Sharpeville in 1984. The authors focus on the trial, sentencing, and subsequent international campaign that eventually led to their release after a stay of execution was ordered only 18 hours before the death sentence was to be carried out. Their exploration of the events also leads the authors into discussions of the way the criminal justice system in apartheid South Africa was biased against blacks. The source material for the book included countless interviews and letters written from Death Row. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Crime is one of the major challenges to any new democracy. Violenceoften increases after the lifting of authoritarian control, or in theaftermath of regime change. But how can a fledgling democracy fightcrime without violating the fragile rights of its citizens? InTransformation and Trouble, accomplished theorist and criminaljustice scholar Diana Gordon critically examines South Africa's effortsto strike the perilous balance between democratic participation andsocial control. Although she finds that South Africa has made greatprogress in pursuing the Western ideals of participatory justice anddue process, popular concerns about crime have fostered the growth ofa punitive criminal justice system that undermines the country'srights-oriented political culture.
