Published 19 Dec 2001 | Added 19 Dec 2001
This document gives details of some of the initiatives which the criminal justice system is taking forward. Further details of the initiatives, together with many others being taken forward as a result of the Criminal Justice Review, are listed in the Review Implementation Plan which was published in November 2001.
The terms of reference for the Review of the Criminal Justice System were set out in the Belfast Agreement. The Agreement envisaged a wide-ranging review of criminal justice (other than policing and those elements of the system relating to the emergency legislation) with the aim of ensuring a system of criminal justice for Northern Ireland that:
delivers a fair and impartial system of justice to the community; is responsive to the community’s concerns, and encourages community involvement where appropriate; has the confidence of all parts of the community; and delivers justice efficiently and effectively.
