Sentencing (Publicity)

Question
If he will provide support to Northamptonshire police's project to publicise sentencing outcomes from Crown courts and magistrates courts.
Answer

The Government recognise the importance of providing communities with information about those brought to justice. Through the policing pledge, forces have committed to publicising local outcomes regularly. Her Majesty's Courts Service continues to support that work, including developing a website, which will enable magistrates court outcomes to be accessible to the public online.
