On the next edition of Last month in criminal justice I'll be joined by prisons and criminal justice expert Rob Allen; Deputy Chief Executive of Agenda, Jess Southgate; and Dr Rick Muir, Director of The Police Foundation, to chew over all the key criminal justice developments.

 

Up for discussion:

 

• Why does the prisons inspectorate want to stop making recommendations for improvement?
• Why are defendants being held for so long on remand in prison, awaiting trial?
• Are girls who have suffered abuse and violence being retraumatised by contact with the youth justice system?
• Is criminal legal aid in crisis, and what can be done about it?
• What on earth were the police doing strip-searching a 15-year-old girl in her school?
• What does a major new report on the police tell us about what needs to be done to rebuild trust, if indeed the police had it in the first place?
• Why are girls being held in a young offender institution for boys?
• Why does the Justice Secretary want powers to overrule the Parole Board on when prisoners go free.

 

Join Rob Allen, Jess Southgate, Rick Muir and me for what promises to be a spirited and invigorating conversation.
