The criminal justice system in England and Wales: Time for change?

The Lord Chief Justice observed that the criminal courts of England and Wales are always changing, and looked back at some of the key changes in the evolution of the criminal justice system.

“Time, that limited resource, inevitably brings change. We must, as a society, as a community, ensure that if we wish to preserve the best of our system - a system in which I have the most profound personal belief - we must continue to make it capable of development and adaptable for the future as it has demonstrated that it has been in the past. In other words, it is always time for change.”
