Tags are keywords. I put tags on every post to help you find the content you want. Tags may be people (Dominic Raab, say), organisations (The Howard League, PRT), themes (women offenders, homelessness) or specific items (heroin, racial disparity, ROTL). If you’re looking to research a particular issue, they can be invaluable.
We need a holistic, woman-centred, integrated approach identified in the Corston Report to avoid needless and damaging contact with the criminal justice system.
Invaluable report from Women in Prison assesses implementation of Corston Report & highlights 5 key priorities for immediate action for women in justice system.
