Abstract

Michael Howard was widely criticized when, as UK Home Secretary in the Conservative administration, he introduced Draconian rulings and sought to protect the police from proper scrutiny. However, this does not necessarily mean that his departure from the Shadow Cabinet is a matter for rejoicing. He showed liberalism in changing his mind about capital punishment, stating that the danger of justice miscarrying made it impossible to justify the death penalty. He also took decisions about whether apparent miscarriages of justice should be referred to the Court of Appeal.
