Women in the justice system

Police and Crime Committee – 10:00am in The Chamber

Theft, violence against the person and ‘miscellaneous crimes against society’ are the most common reasons women are arrested in London. Many women receive custodial sentences for ‘low level’ crime and since the closure of HMP Holloway, those placed in custody are sent to serve their sentence outside of the capital.

The Police and Crime Committee will begin its investigation into women in the justice system.

The guests include:

• Dr Kate Paradine, Chief Executive, Women in Prison
• Helga Swidenbank, Director of Probation, London CRC
• Jenny Earle, Programme Director - Reducing Women's Imprisonment, Prison Reform Trust
• Niki Scordi, Chief Executive, Advance
