Proceeding contribution from Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Criminal Justice.


Criminal Justice

We want to act in a humane way. The Government have done more on domestic violence than any predecessor Government. I cannot predict the statistics. Some vulnerable women are involved in a cycle and end up in prison; if they go out, they up in prison again. We want to address that in a sensible and smart as well as efficient fashion, from the point of view of protection of the public as well as from the point of view of the individual.
