Inside Justice Week 2008
Inside Justice Week 2008 took place between Saturday 18 - Saturday 25 October 2008.
Inside Justice Week is an annual campaign that aims to open up the Criminal Justice System (CJS) to the public through a week of co-ordinated events and media activity across England and Wales.The overall purpose of the week is to increase understanding of and confidence in the Criminal Justice System. Inside Justice Week will involve all the agencies who make up the Lancashire Criminal Justice Board. The Board consists of Chief Officers of all the major criminal justice agencies – the Lancashire Constabulary, the Crown Prosecution Service, Her Majesty’s Court Service, the Probation Service, the Youth Offending Team, Victim Support and the Prison Service.
In 2008 in Lancashire the theme for Inside Justice Week was Volunteering.
All the agencies were involved in activities to encourage people to get involved with CJS in the county. This could be volunteering with the police or maybe with Victim Support. Or maybe getting involved in the CJS in other ways such as becoming a Magistrate. Click here for the Lancashire Volunteering Pack
