Key recommendations contained in the report include: the establishment of a Victim and Witness Charter providing statutory entitlements; mandatory training for all staff who interact with victims and witnesses; the introduction of Witness Care Units as the single point of contact for as much of the process as possible; the introduction of a minimum waiting time for witnesses and a statutory case management system to help ensure cases are dealt with as swiftly as possible. Other recommendations cover the need for better communications with victims and witnesses, accountability mechanisms to measure services provided to victims and witnesses and improvements to the physical environment available within courthouses.

Download or read book Exploring Vulnerability in the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales written by Laura Farrugia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a comparative analysis of both vulnerable witnesses and vulnerable suspects, this book discusses the increasingly difficult issue faced by many in modern policing, forensic psychology, criminology, and social justice studies. Examining recent legislation, guidance, current psychological theory, and contemporary research and literature, the book enhances the currently limited knowledge of vulnerability in the criminal justice system (CJS) through the presentation of theoretical understanding, case law and real-life case studies. It also explores how vulnerable victims, witnesses, and suspects progress through the system in England and Wales from initially being identified as vulnerable through to the measures used to assist them during interviews and at trial. In doing so, it provides a historical overview of how vulnerability has previously been considered, and how effective those with vulnerabilities were perceived to be in actively participating in the CJS. Further chapters consider how vulnerable individuals are safeguarded, the differences in services available to them, and what this may lead to in terms of effective participation in the system. How vulnerable groups are interviewed, what is considered best practice, and whether such practices are suitable also come under scrutiny. Exploring Vulnerability in the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales is important reading for students and scholars of policing, forensic psychology, criminology, and social justice studies. It will also be of use for any organisations that conduct internal investigations such as non-government organizations, security and defence organisations, and corporate organizations.
Download or read book The victim in the Irish criminal process written by Shane Kilcommins and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern for crime victims has been a growing political issue in improving the legitimacy and success of the criminal justice system through the rhetoric of rights. Since the 1970s there have been numerous reforms and policy documents produced to enhance victims’ satisfaction in the criminal justice system. The Republic of Ireland has seen a sea-change in more recent years from a focus on services for victims to a greater emphasis on procedural rights. The purpose of this book is to chart these reforms against the backdrop of wider political and regional changes emanating from the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, and to critically examine whether the position of crime victims has actually ameliorated. The book discusses the historical and theoretical concern for crime victims in the criminal justice system, examins the variety of forms of legal and service provision inclusion, amd concludes by analysing the various needs of victims which continue to be unmet.

Download or read book Getting it right for victims and witnesses written by Great Britain: Ministry of Justice and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 2010 the Government published a consultation document, 'Breaking the cycle', which proposed wide-ranging reforms to the way in which offenders are sentenced by the courts and are subsequently dealt with in custody and in the community. The Government response to the consultation was published July 2011 and Parliament is currently considering a package of measures set out in the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill. This document builds on themes that the Government first articulated in 'Breaking the cycle', in particular the importance of offenders making a greater contribution to putting right the harm they have done to victims of crime. The reforms set out in the document for consultation are based on the following principles: i) practical and emotional support should be given to those who need it most; ii) victims should receive help as and when they need it; iii) services should meet the different needs of communities across the country; offenders should make reparation for the impact of their crimes.

Download or read book Criminal Justice in Transition written by Anne-Marie McAlinden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a critical examination of key aspects of crime and criminal justice in Northern Ireland which will have resonance elsewhere. It considers the core aspects of criminal justice policy-making in Northern Ireland which are central to the process of post-conflict transition, including reform of policing, judicial decision-making and correctional services such as probation and prisons. It examines contemporary trends in criminal justice in Northern Ireland and various dimensions of crime relating to female offenders, young offenders, sexual and violent offenders, community safety and restorative justice. The book also considers the extent to which crime and criminal justice issues in Northern Ireland are being affected by the broader processes of 'policy transfer', globalisation and transnationalism and the extent to which criminal justice in Northern Ireland is divergent from the other jurisdictions in the United Kingdom. Written by leading international authorities in the field, the book offers a snapshot of the cutting edge of critical thinking in criminal justice practice and transitional justice contexts.
