APCC comments on Leveson review of criminal courts Rt Hon Sir Brian Leveson’s independent review of the criminal courts has been published. The review was commissioned by the Lord Chancellor to address a capacity crisis that Sir Brian says sees the system at “real risk of collapse”. In response to the review’s findings, APCC Chair Emily Spurrell said: “Sir Brian Leveson’s review clearly articulates the problems our criminal justice system faces and makes clear that only radical change can deliver justice for victims and defendants whilst rebuilding public trust. As PCCs we too often hear from victims who feel let down and ignored, so we welcome the changes proposed to tackle delays in getting cases to trial and increase confidence amongst those seeking justice, including more use of out of court resolutions.

The continual pretence that there is nothing to see here is slowly shredding the remnants of the reputation policing in Scotland once had for being amongst the finest in the world.

How do criminal courts work without juries around the world? One of the most significant recommendations in a review of the criminal courts in England and Wales, expected to be published this week, is likely to be the scrapping of jury trials for certain offences. The idea in Sir Brian Leveson’s independent inquiry is that it will help reduce the record backlog in the courts. But for many the right to a jury trial, except for the most minor offences, is synonymous with the right to a fair trial and watering it down would be hugely controversial. Here the Guardian examines how other countries’ criminal courts work. The Guardian	9/7/2025 Feature
