Criminal justice across the UK: What are the challenges?

What has been going on in criminal justice across the UK since the Brexit referendum?

What are the main criminal justice developments to look out for across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland following the General Election?

Why is it so hard sometimes to achieve even modest reforms? What are the big policy challenges of the future?
