Confidence Research
The Northumbria Local Criminal Justice Board is committed to increasing the confidence of local people in Criminal Justice Services.
We are doing this in two ways:
Research
In order to better understand people’s needs and opinions the Board has entered into a 3 year partnership with Newcastle University to work on some high quality research to inform strategy development. To find out more go to criminaljusticeresearch.ncl.ac.uk or contact Liz Turner.
Communications and Community Engagement
Our Communications and Community Engagement Group work with the local media to keep local people in the picture about the criminal justice issues affecting their communities. They also organise regular community events where people can find out more about the Criminal Justice System. To find out more go to the 'Events' page or contact Sowmya Pulle.
Making a difference?
In order to help improve the services we deliver locally Northumbria Criminal Justice Board carried out research to help us understand what you expect from the criminal justice system.
A group of people took part in 1-2 hour focus groups, discussing their expectations and experiences of the criminal justice system. They gave their experience of the criminal justice system and shared their views and feelings.
