CBC News (Canada) 12/2/2026 News A Modern Youth Justice Service: Foundations Fit for The Future POLICY PAPER: The government sets out its reforms and plans to modernise the youth justice system. The youth justice system in England and Wales has seen considerable success over the past two decades, with significant reductions in first-time entrants, proven offences, and the number of children in custody. However, the children who come into contact with the system today often present with increasingly complex needs and face significant barriers to rehabilitation. To continue protecting the public and supporting children to turn away from offending, the youth justice system must evolve. Today, the government sets out its plans to modernise the governance and funding of youth justice services, strengthen early intervention, and ensure custody is only used as a last resort. This statement lays the foundations for further reforms to be announced later this Spring. Taken together, these proposals will amount to the most fundamental reform of the youth justice system in a generation. A Written Ministerial Statement setting out the government’s plans was made in Parliament today.

Policing Insight - Subscription at source 12/2/2026 Analysis, Feature, Opinion Facial recognition technology in law enforcement- a scoping review of existing empirical studies This scoping review maps empirical research on law enforcement’s use of facial recognition technology (FRT) for identification purposes. A systematic search of five databases, with no time restrictions, identified 11 studies published between 2020 and 2024. Most were U.S.-based, survey-driven, drawing on diverse theoretical frameworks. The evidence clusters around two themes: public perceptions and operational outcomes. Perception-focused studies dominate, emphasizing how trust, legitimacy, privacy, political orientation and media shape public acceptance. Limited and mixed operational evidence suggests possible gains in investigative efficiency and public-safety outcomes in serious-crime contexts, though the evidence base remains thin and lacks system-level detail needed to assess effectiveness and equity. This thematic imbalance limits understanding of FRT’s effectiveness and risks in practice. While the evidence base remains limited, growing scholarly attention signals an emerging research trajectory. Policy implications underscore the need for transparent evaluation, inter-agency coordination and enforceable oversight to ensure responsible, equitable FRT use.
