Vulnerable women in danger of entering the criminal justice system are being given a helping hand to turn their lives around thanks to a strong partnership approach led by the PCC's office.

Organisations across Norfolk are being encouraged to take part in a survey to help understand how well offenders are supported in the county and identify any gaps in services.

As we mark International Restorative Justice Week, two users of the Norfolk and Suffolk Restorative Justice Service have spoken about how it helped them move forwards after being affected by crime.  

The PCC has highlighted Norfolk's WONDER programme, as he welcomes a briefing highlighting the benefits of intervening early with women at risk of offending to help keep them out of the criminal justice system.

Plans in place to ensure the criminal justice system continues effectively despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic were commended at the recent meeting of the Norfolk and Suffolk Local Criminal Justice Board.

Norfolk's PCC, Lorne Green, has published his latest annual report which provides an overview of progress made against the county's Police and Crime Plan from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019.

The WONDER project, which helps female offenders address the root causes of offending behaviour, has been shortlisted for a Community Award by the Howard League of Penal Reform.

The PCC has praised the county’s Youth Offending Team (YOT) for its work tackling youth crime and supporting vulnerable children and young people.

A scheme to help female offenders turn their lives around is set to be expanded across the county thanks to a new partnership supported by Norfolk’s PCC.

Partner organisations across the county are being invited to play their part in a scheme targeting female offenders and women at risk of entering the criminal justice system.
