Lexis®Library update: The Director’s Guidance on Charging Sixth Edition (DG6) will come into force with immediate effect.
DPP Max Hill says: ‘There has been a major shift in working practices and priorities throughout the criminal justice system in recent years and it is vital there is clear guidance to help police and prosecutors navigate these effectively.’ DG6 guides police officers and prosecutors through the charging process. It also provides extensive detail on specific responsibilities for both the police and prosecutors.
