Description

The new government faces an extremely challenging inheritance in the criminal justice system. How can trust in the police and charging rates be improved? How can criminal court backlogs be tackled? How can government improve conditions and capacity in prisons? How can individual criminal justice services work together more effectively? And does the new government have a plan to address these challenges?

Dr Karen Schucan Bird, Associate Professor at the UCL Social Research Institute
Penelope Gibbs, Director of Transform Justice
Lord Timpson OBE, Minister of State for Prisons, Probation and Reducing Reoffending

This session was chaired by Cassia Rowland, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government.

This event was part of the IfG's public services conference, kindly supported by UCL.
