Abstract
More than any other field of human endeavour, the criminal justice system has spawned a textual machine for knowing. One needs to look no further than the traditional law office or library, with its endless series of published law reports and series of statutes – both a visual claim to authority, and a form of working reference system – to understand that the criminal justice system is built on a foundation formed of its own archive. Its authority lies in recorded precedent and recorded statute; and on the secure record of arrest, trial and punishment. This authority in turn demands a uniquely sophisticated system of preservation and discovery.
