The crisis within the criminal justice system extends far beyond the backlogs in the Crown Courts and the lack of sufficient criminal Barristers to prosecute and defend the cases. Long-term savage cuts across the whole of the criminal justice system have impacted on its ability to enable there to be a just and fair trial. The difficulties are widespread.
