What do we know about the intersection between the family and criminal justice
systems? What do we know about users’ experiences and the outcomes of cases
where there are concurrent family and criminal cases, for example cases involving
domestic abuse, rape or child sex offences?
Background
The objective for MoJ is to improve the way people are supported to resolve their legal matters in a fair and efficient way, that leads to positive and sustained outcomes. This includes delivering a modern and efficient courts and tribunal service that harnesses the potential of digital innovation. We want to enhance our understanding of complex journeys through the justice system, including the interaction between civil, family and criminal justice systems.
