The Justice Policy Working group is addressing a range of areas to devise a criminal justice system that works to protect the public, punish and reform offenders and reduce crime. This pamphlet contains their ideas on how to develop a coherent and effective criminal justice strategy, as well as outlining what challenges we will need to surmount during the review process.

The individual essays do not represent Labour Party policy but are suggestions and inspiration from some of the most respect figures in the area.

The report features an introduction from Sadiq Khan MP and chapters from Lord Victor Adebowale, Baroness Jean Corston, Shauneen Lambe, Paul McDowell, Kevin McGrath, Barry Mizen, Dame Helen Reeves, Professor Robert Reiner, Professor Julian V Roberts, Matthew Ryder QC, Lord Norman Warner, and Phil Wheatley CB.
