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.
