Justice for All
A radical and wide-ranging programme of reform for the Criminal Justice System was published in the Government White Paper, "Justice for All", on 17 July 2002. It sets out a coherent, long-term strategy to modernise the Criminal Justice System (CJS) from end to end - from detection to rehabilitation of offenders - with a clear focus on fighting and reducing crime.
Narrowing the justice gap
The justice gap – the difference between the number of crimes which are recorded and the number which result in their perpetrator being brought to justice – is the key measure of the effectiveness of the criminal justice system, and a crucial indicator of success in reducing crime. This is why the Government has set a new target to bring 1.2 million offences to justice by 2005- 06.
Summary of Government Strategy
Home Office Drugs Minister, Bob Ainsworth provided a summary of the Government's strategy against drugs while giving evidence on 12 February 2002, to the Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry into the Government's drug strategy. His comments provide a good review of current action and thinking on tackling drugs and crime.
Crime Reduction Training Review
The review of crime reduction training represents one of the steps the Government are taking to raise the performance of crime and disorder reduction partnerships. Home Office Ministers requested the review in 2001. It was carried out in consultation with key stakeholders, training providers and others with the aim of developing a strategy for crime reduction training. There was also a review of existing literature, consultancy and inspection reports and the exercise culminated in a conference in London in May 2001.
New Guidance for Dance Clubs
New safety guidelines have been issued by the Home Office to help clubs to comply with the licensing laws. The Safer Clubbing guide contains comprehensive new advice for club owners, dance event promoters and local authority licensing departments on how to ensure the health and safety of anyone attending dance events in England.
New Powers to beat Anti-Social Behaviour
The Home Office has introduced new measures to help the police and courts clamp down on anti-social behaviour and nuisance crime.
