Abstract
This chapter reviews criminal justice policy in Scotland in light of 10 years of SNP Government. It considers particular policy directions made over the past decade in the context of Scotland's historical traditions and commitments relating to welfarism, religious division, and relative penal excess. Key policies and practices relating to sectarianism, armed police, stop and search of young people, and prisons reform have been promulgated against a background of falling crime and defined the SNP's rule and shape future directions for justice.
