The relationship between debt and financial issues and women's offending

This briefing examines the relationship between debt and financial issues and women’s offending. It focuses on case study examples submitted to Clinks by our members, and follows our response to the Sentencing Council’s Fraud, Bribery and Money Laundering Offences Guideline consultation, and our recent briefing on the Government’s response to the Justice Select Committee’s report on Women Offenders and the Women’s Custodial Estate Review. Clinks director Clive Martin also sits on the Advisory Board for Female Offenders.
