The Fawcett Society Consultation on Women and the Criminal Justice System

The Fawcett Society do a lot of good work, and make a lot of good t-shirts (check your copy of Subtext Issue 6 now!) and so I can only thoroughly recommend everyone volunteering their help for the societies new consultation on women and the criminal justice system.

They are seeking opinion and information from female suspects and offenders, female victims of crimes, organisations working with female offenders or victims and women working in various penal and legal positions.

We are interested in the experiences of women working within the criminal justice system, women who have experienced the criminal justice system as suspects, defendants or offenders as well as the experiences of women victims and survivors of crime.

We would also welcome views from organisations working with female offenders, victims and survivors of crime or reform of the criminal justice system.

Questionnaires can be accessed on the Fawcett Society website.
