What the parties said about sentencing, and what impact their plans could have on the voluntary sector
Following our round up of the major parties' manifestos, we take some time to explore the commitments around sentencing and prisons and the impact they might have on people in contact with the criminal justice system, and the voluntary organisations who support them.
A round up of the week’s criminal justice manifesto commitments
The week of the 10th June saw the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives, Greens and Labour publish their 2024 manifestos, and Reform published their 'contract' on the 17th June. With three weeks until the election on July 4, here we review each party’s commitments on policing and criminal justice.
