Big Issue in Scotland (452): Call this Justice?

Friday, November 14, 2003

This week’s edition of the Big Issue contains a number of articles of relevance. Only obtainable from a vendor or by subscription.

“Secure Unit Proposal Reveals Prejudice in Local Communities: Within weeks the site for the secure centre for Scots with mental health problems will be chosen for the west of Scotland, sparking a ferocious debate in local communities. . .”

“Anti-youth propaganda: politicians must take the rap and stoop shifting the blame.”

“Prolonged Punishment - Release is only the Beginning: No amount of money can make up for an innocent life behind bars but the UK criminal justice system can’t even manage to compensate fairly.”

“Scales of Injustice: In the UK last year more than 3,000 prisoners were pursuing miscarriage of justice cases.” Can the Scottish criminal justice system still claim to be the best in the world ?
