Manchester Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership
Strengthening links with the justice system
The next three years will see some significant changes to the criminal justice system. In particular, local people will play a much bigger part in criminal justice processes and outcomes.
The Government is planning a number of changes that will result in a reform of the criminal justice system. These include an increased use of restorative justice and trialling Neighbourhood Justice Panels to divert a number of low-level cases from court to a panel of community volunteers and criminal justice practitioners. These approaches will enable local people to play a more central role in criminal justice. We will be working with criminal justice partners to develop these areas of work in a way that works best for Manchester.
