Book Description
Following on from a NAO report (HCP 798, session 2005-06, ISBN 0102936978) published in February 2006, the Committee's report concludes that the handling of cases in magistrates' courts has in recent years become complex and protracted to the extent that it no longer amounts to summary justice. 55 per cent of the £173 million cost of delay in the magistrates' courts is attributable to the defence, but the police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) account for another 14 per cent (£24 million) each. The CPS needs to review its organisational structure, revise its system for preparing for magistrates' court cases by adopting current best practice, and address the cultural resistance within the organisation to more modern working practices.

Book Description
The Crown Prosecution Service has an annual expenditure of £568 million, employs over 7,800 staff and in 2004-5 prosecuted about 1.25 million people for criminal offences. This study looks at its performance in making effective use of magistrates' court trials and hearings.. It estimates that ineffective trials and hearings cost the criminal justice system £173 million of which the CPS is responsible for £24 million. The report identifies examples of good practice and recommends changes to improve the efficiency of the prosecution of magistrates' court cases.

HC 1115 - The Criminal Justice System
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public AccountsPublisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 0215072804
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
The Criminal Justice System is complex and to operate effectively relies on numerous interdependencies between the different bodies involved. There are weaknesses in the System which have persisted for far too long and which cause delay and inefficiency, and serve to undermine public confidence. One example is the failure to ensure the right information is available in case files, where the quality has consistently worsened; another is that a quarter of trials are cancelled or delayed because of late decisions by one or more of the agencies involved. The Home Office, Ministry of Justice and Crown Prosecution Service have made some efforts to improve, but progress in addressing the key problems remains disappointingly slow. Crime has fallen but the Departments gave little evidence linking this improvement to their actions, and while both crime and police officer numbers are down, prison numbers have remained static over the same period. The Departments' efforts to improve efficiency are taking place against a background of reduced resources and staffing, and a prison population twice as high as 20 years ago. The Departments are struggling to: improve the smooth passage of criminal cases through the System; achieve greater collaboration and efficiency between criminal justice organisations at local level; and improve the use of new technology for sharing information.
