It covers the main criminal justice institutions of the police, courts, probation and prison. The aim is to provide reliable, accessible data on trends in areas such as criminal justice spending, staffing, and the populations subject to criminal justice sanctions. It will be useful to policy makers, practitioners, researchers and anyone else with an interest in the criminal justice system in the UK. How to understand the data: The data we provide in this briefing gives a rough sense of the overall 'size' of the criminal justice system, in terms of funding, workforce and people processed by criminal justice institutions. Trends in these areas will be affected by a variety of complex interrelated factors, both within the criminal justice system and without. For instance, the number of people prosecuted in the courts will in part depend on the number of police officers available to arrest people in the first place, which in turn will depend on police budgets. On the other hand, the number of people arrested will depend on demographic and other social factors such as the size of the specific populations targeted by the police. Where possible we present data covering the ten-year period from 2008-2009 to 2017-2018 to get a meaningful understanding of current trends. The financial year 2017-2018 is the most recent year for which comparable data for each jurisdiction is available. All data is taken from official government sources. Data tables and a full list of references are available from our website: www.crimeandjustice.org.uk. Spending: This section focuses on criminal justice spending. Figures 1, 2 and 3 show real terms spending on police services, law courts and prisons in England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland between the financial years 2012-2013 and 2016-2017. Figures 4, 5 and 6 show how much of total criminal justice expenditure each component made up. They are compiled from data produced by the Treasury for international comparison and attempt to be inclusive of spending by all government departments. They therefore include local as well as central sources of expenditure. Details: London: Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, 2019. 14p.
