Criminal justice resources staffing and workloads. An initial assessment
Richard Garside and Nic Groombridge (December 2008)
This report is an initial assessment of budgetary, staffing and workload pressures in the police, the courts, the Prison Service and the Probation Service. It is the prelude to more detailed analysis that the Centre will undertake in 2009. The report was commissioned by a group of professional bodies and trade unions representing those who work in the criminal justice system. Those bodies are: Napo, the professional organisation and trade union for probation officers; POA, the union for prison officers; PCS, the union for a variety of staff in the justice sector; UNISON, representing a wide variety of police and probation staff and the Police Federation, representing the professional interests of police officers up to the rank of Chief Inspector. |
