The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) recently launched (under the previous Lord Chancellor) a ‘one-stop shop’ online information tool offering key statistics on prisons, probation and the courts.
NLJ columnist and former JUSTICE director Roger Smith, writing in this week’s NLJ, assesses the new website.
Smith praises the good points, including the comprehensive and manageable sets of data, and highlights the gaps—such as the glaring absence of any mention of legal aid.
Appraising the work so far, Smith says: 'if this is the beginning of an iterative process, well done. If anyone thinks this is a satisfactory final result, it is not.'
