Recommendation 20
20
Long-term policy alignment between Home Office and MoJ crucial for broader crime reduction ambitions.
Conclusion
The joint working, supported by the Government, between the police and the criminal justice system was essential in bringing about swift justice to the perpetrators of the disorder. This helped to prevent further disorder. However, we agree with the Policing Minister that it is not right for other serious crimes to see significant delays to justice. The Government’s broader ambitions to reduce crime will require better long-term alignment between Home Office policies on crime and policing and those of the Ministry of Justice relating to the criminal justice system and the prison estate. (Conclusion, Paragraph 68)
