本文分析了据称支持 2003 年《刑事司法法案》下刑事司法系统广泛改革的核心证据来源。借鉴福柯的治理理论，本文认为证据收集和部署的过程不符合政府将“基于证据的政策”作为所有公共政策制定指导原则的理论和方法论要求。相反，这项工作的参数的制定方式使得一些关键证据被完全忽视，这些证据质疑许多计划中的改革是否明智，理由是这些改革会导致误判。因此，得出的结论是，《刑事司法法》（2003 年）并不像所声称的那样“非意识形态”。相反，它象征着一种将意识形态转化为话语的政府技术（福柯意义上的），然后提供合法权威来强制实施预期的改革议程。
This article analyses the core sources of evidence that were claimed to underpin the wide-ranging reforms of the criminal justice system under the Criminal Justice Act 2003. Drawing from Foucault’s governmentality thesis, it argues that the processes of evidence collection and deployment did not comply with the government’s theoretical and methodological dictates of ‘evidence-based-policy’ as a guiding principle in all public policymaking. On the contrary, the parameters of the exercise were framed in such a way that critical evidence that questioned the wisdom of many of the planned reforms on the grounds that they will cause miscarriages of justice was completely disregarded. It is, therefore, concluded that the Criminal Justice Act (2003) is not ‘non-ideological’ as claimed. Rather, it symbolizes a governmental technique (in the Foucauldian sense) to transform ideology into discourse, which then provides the legitimate authority to force through the intended reform agenda.
