Out of court resolutions are effective, efficient & often preferred by victims. But how much are police forces using them?

Well worth a listen. Women’s prisons are genuinely appalling and getting worse. They receive very little press coverage despite being more violent than men’s prisons and having a self-harm rate equivalent to around 6 incidents per prisoner per year
