In today's Independent, David Hanson, Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice, claims that NOMS has been a success because crime levels have fallen by 41% since 1997. Well, setting aside that NOMS was a David Blunkett production, not one of Jack Straw's, I don't see the connection.
It does make me wonder, though, whether the reduction in time taken to get cases through the judicial process these days may have nothing at all to do with all those splendid initiatives that have spewed out of the Home Office and the Lord Chancellor's Dept (a.k.a Dept of Constitutional Affairs, a.k.a Ministry of Justice). It may be all to do with there being less work to do! No,.....it can't be that simple.......can it?
