New Site - Criminal Justice System Online

There is an excellent new portal for the Criminal Justice System at http://www.cjsonline.org, designed for both members of the public and professionals involved with the system.

The area of the site for the general public includes sections related to being a witness, a defendant or a juror. There are also sections for victim support, crime prevention and even a virtual tour of 14 courts.

The area for professionals includes information about the LCD, the Attorney General and the Home Office, with subsections for the Police, Prisons, Probation, Youth Justice Board and Criminal Records Bureau. The site either provides information directly, or else links to the relevant external site for further information. There are also news items and publications available. It looks like a very useful starting point for many queries.
