Joint review of diversion from prosecution
A Joint Review of Diversion from Prosecution, published today, assesses the operation and impact of diversion from prosecution in Scotland.
The review, carried out jointly by HM Inspectorate of Prosecution in Scotland (IPS), HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS); the Care Inspectorate (CI) and HM Inspectorate of Prisons for Scotland (HMIPS), looked at how the practice of diversion worked from a policing, prosecution and justice social work perspective and explored barriers to its more effective use. The report identifies a number of areas for improvement and has made 34 recommendations for the agencies involved and the Scottish Government.
