The criminal justice system is failing victims and society

Public confidence in British criminal justice has collapsed. 9 in 10 victims don’t think the system is effective. Reoffending costs taxpayers £18bn annually. But fresh thinking is being clouded by a noisy, polarised debate.

The Common Ground Justice Project engages people across divides to uncover a new way forward with broad public support.

Our vision is a justice system that:

• Cuts crime and reoffending

• Restores public confidence

• Ensures victims are heard 

• Delivers value for taxpayers
