Green Paper - Consultation: Engaging Communities in Criminal Justice
Download PDF version
Effective community engagement is key to improving public confidence in the way in which crime is tackled and justice delivered.
The Engaging Communities consultation was built around four primary aims:
Achieving stronger, community-focused partnerships which draw together activity across criminal justice services and other relevant agencies to secure really effective, two-way, joined-up communications between the CJS and local people
Building on the success of our Community Justice projects and the problem-solving approach to enhance the visibility of the CJS, solve problems for the community and reform offenders and enable them to make amends
Increasing the intensity and visibility of Community Payback so that justice is delivered and seen to be delivered
Keeping the public informed by improving the information the public receives about case outcomes: ensuring the public can see a real connection between the crime and the punishment (and reform) meted out in response. |
