Concern at 48% rise in cases awaiting Crown Court trials

The chair of Stormont s Justice Committee has described the backlog of Crown Court cases in Northern Ireland as wholly unacceptable . His comments come after figures obtained by the Belfast Telegraph showed a 48% hike in the number awaiting trial since the first lockdown last March. This includes 23 murder and 36 rape cases as the full effects of the pandemic on our legal system emerge. With victims awaiting the outcomes, and defendants remanded in custody far longer than could be reasonably expected, DUP MLA Paul Givan told this newspaper that the situation must be addressed as a matter of urgency. Justice delayed is justice denied to the victims of crime, said the Lagan Valley representative and Justice Committee chairman.

Justice Minister launches public consultation | Latest Newry News, Newry Sport and Newry Business for Newry City

    The consultation will consider the proposed strategic approach to support and challenge women and girls who are on the cusp of offending or who have already turned to crime.      With a focus on working with women and girls throughout their contact with the justice system and particularly at an earlier stage to assist them in following a pathway away from offending. Naomi Long said, “Every year there are a small number of women and girls who come in contact with the justice system, because of their behaviour.  “We want to adopt an approach that focuses on the range of contact with justice; on what can be done to prevent and divert women and girls from crime; supporting them to change in the community, and helping improve their lives and circumstances on the occasion they enter and leave custody.
