What we do
Our responsibilities
Our broad areas of responsibility in alphabetical order. Each area includes contact details, links to related sites, services, publications, reports and speeches.
Protecting the public
We manage offenders from the point at which they are charged to the end of their sentence, providing supervision and support as they are reintegrated into society.
Pathways to justice
The justice system is an important public service. We are all likely to come into contact with it at some point in our lives, because we have been a witness or victim of crime, to protect and enforce our rights or to settle disputes.
Democracy and constitution
The Prime Minister has agreed that those areas of political reform for which the Deputy Prime Minister will have direct responsibility should transfer from the Ministry of Justice to the Cabinet Office.
