The Criminal Justice System (CJS) of England and Wales
The CJS is one of the major public services in the country. Across the CJS, agencies such as the police, the Crown Prosecution Service, the courts and the National Offender Management Service work together to deliver criminal justice.
The work of these agencies is overseen by three government departments: the Ministry of Justice, the Home Office and the Attorney General's Office.
These departments and agencies are working together to reform and improve the Criminal Justice System.
The Local Criminal Justice Boards lead on key priorities for reducing crime and administering justice on a local basis.
