Strategic plan for crime and justice unveiled

Summary

This Paper, 'Working Together to Cut Crime and Deliver Justice - A Strategic Plan for 2008-2011' (Cm 7247), sets out a strategic vision for the UK criminal justice system up to 2011.

The plan set out describes a criminal justice system which:

  • Is more effective in bringing offences to justice, especially serious offences
  • Engages the public and inspires confidence
  • Puts the needs of victims at its heart
  • Has simple and efficient processes.

The publication identifies how criminal justice agencies – police, prosecution, courts, probation, prison and youth justice services – will work together with other partners to improve efficiency and effectiveness in bringing offences to justice.

It also sets out how the Criminal Justice System supports Government’s wider drive to make communities safer through reducing crime and re-offending, as detailed in the Crime Strategy: Cutting Crime: A New Partnership 2008-11, published on 19 July. (Available to download)
