HMCTS still failing to collect data on jurors

By Jemma Slingo2021-04-16T10:01:00+01:00 An investigation by the Gazette has revealed a dearth of information about the type of people who serve on juries, as experts claim the government is not doing enough to monitor ‘seismic’ changes in the justice system. The Ministry of Justice told the Gazette that it does not record the gender, ethnicity or average household income of serving jurors. While jurors’ dates of birth are stored on the central database, it is unable to deduce the average age of jurors from this information. Responding to a freedom of information request, the MoJ said it has no legal or business requirement to hold these figures. However, it said it is continuing to explore how it can improve its data gathering.
