News about criminal justice in Scotland

Founded in October 2003, this is a handcrafted database of sources about crime and justice issues in Scotland and, where relevant, the rest of the UK and Europe. Please note that some media, press release and broadcast links are short-lived. You can use the headlines for archive searches but may have to pay to access the original piece.

The CjScotland project is being migrated to our new WordPress site and so this database will no longer be updated in parallel. However, until all 7369 posts can be transferred it will stay live for research and reference purposes. On closure there will be an automatic redirection to the new site. Go there now and have a look . . .MM. April 2011

CjScotland is moving

From now on please use our new site for current information about Scottish criminal justice. However, this site will continue to be available for research until we can manage to transfer over all our posts. This has to be done by hand and so will take several months. During that process some of the posts from this site will be aggregated with others of the same topic as the new site is populated. So if you can’t find what you are looking for here then please try the new version.

When the transfer is complete both this and the transitional addresses will merge automatically. In the meantime we recommend refreshing your bookmarks using the new site’s temporary address at http://cjscotland.co.uk.
