  • 'Problem-solving' approaches for young offenders to be trialled

    March 23, 2017
    Children & Young People Now

    Problem-solving courts, which are currently only used in adult settings, aim to address offending behaviour through the co-ordination of services, including and beyond those provided by youth offending teams (YOTs), to reduce crime and improve wider outcomes for children, victims, and families.

  • Prison and Courts Bill - Panacea or Pandora’s box?

    February 27, 2017
    Politics Home

    It seems Liz Truss launched the Prison and Courts Bill with the intention to do it all – do right by victims of crime; focus on offender education and health; reduce overcrowding; rehabilitating prisoners; empowering governors; make courts more efficient; saving people money on their car insurance premiums.

    This article looks at some of the proposals in the Bill and reactions by stakeholders.

  • FDACs face challenging future

    February 6, 2017
    Solicitors Journal

    The future of the Family Drug and Alcohol Court is far from certain due to a challenging economic climate and concerns among local stakeholders over whether the court provides value for money, an independent evaluation of the innovative court model has warned.

  • Ex-offenders face neglect from the very services set up to help them

    December 14, 2016
    The Guardian

    People leaving prison struggle to shake off the stigma and access support - but there are places where imaginative training and simple technology have helped.

  • Prisoners face advice struggle on release, thinktank reports

    December 14, 2016
    The Law Society Gazette

    Law centres and advice providers can play a crucial role in helping prisoners to build crime-free lives once they get out jail, and reduce the annual £15bn cost of reoffending, an independent thinktank says today.

  • Top judge urges tougher community service as alternative to prison

    November 23, 2016
    The Guardian

    Fewer criminals should be jailed and tougher community punishments developed as an alternative to imprisonment, the lord chief justice has urged.

  • Tougher community sentences instead of jail, urges top judge

    November 23, 2016
    The Times

    The country’s most senior judge has called for fewer offenders to be jailed. Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd said that the prison population, more than 85,000 in England and Wales, was “very, very high”. There are concerns, he told MPs, that it could rise further.

  • Online courts ‘will trigger miscarriages of justice’

    November 14, 2016
    The Times

    Defendants who go through criminal “online” trials will be under pressure to accept charges and sentences, the charity Centre for Justice Innovation warned in a response to the Ministry of Justice’s consultation paper “Transforming our Justice System”.

  • Online courts guidance must be in ‘plain English’

    November 11, 2016
    The Law Society Gazette

    An online criminal courts system must be accompanied by guidance written in ‘plain English’ so that defendants clearly understand the consequences of their pleas, a thinktank has said in response to the Ministry of Justice and judiciary’s £1bn vision paper.

  • Are magistrates and local justice under threat?

    November 3, 2016
    The Times

    The idea of ordinary members of the public deciding 95 per cent of criminal cases seems radical. Yet that is local justice, as operated by magistrates for 650 years in courts up and down England and Wales. Now, though, the system faces something of an existential crisis: numbers and the workload are in decline; courts are being closed and new young recruits are in short supply.
