reports: “the Chair of the Criminal Bar Association, Mary Prior KC stated that “increasing the numbers of police officers or probation officers is welcomed.” “They will deal with detection of crime and rehabilitation of offenders. For their work to matter people who commit crime must be prosecuted and convicted.” As Prior pointed out, “We, the criminal Bar, are always the least important, the least valued, the most ignored key workers. The public service which we do is not headline-grabbing politics.”
