So chuffed to have received 90% correct! My one failure was on Q 5: I was surprised to see how many drug users were being treated in secure settings. But how much more effective that treatment would be if the system of judicial monitoring and supervision, introduced by the DTTO, and now the DRR, for which I have been pressing for over 20 years, was more generally adopted!
Hopefully this may receive wider recognition when my memoir “Behind my door – how a judge’s experience of mentoring was applied to judicial monitoring as an aid to rehabilitation” is published in mid-November. Watch this space!
