Our director Richard Garside and guests discuss what happened in criminal justice during January 2022.
We discussed the following topics:
- Policing and party-gate: Why were the police seemingly so reluctant to investigate the alleged lockdown-breaking Downing Street parties and what do the latest developments mean?
- Babies in prison: The Prison and Probation Ombudsman's report on the still-birth of Brooke Leigh Powell in Styal women's prison
- Recent developments in the management of transgender prisoners
- Do the police have a women problem? What do the cases of Koshka Duff, Kate Wilson and Sarah Everard say about the state of misogyny in the police?
- Record numbers of prison deaths
- The (non-)prosecution of sexual offences
