Ms Hewitt

I welcome the wide-ranging and valuable contribution that the Fawcett Society's Commission on Women and the Criminal Justice System.

The recommendations will strengthen the work already in hand to support victims as outlined in the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victim's Bill, the three-year Action Plan to implement the Women's Offending Reduction Programme and Gender Equality PSA targets to increase women's participation in the criminal justice system.
