Position statement
Adult court matters Wider justice system

Out of Court resolutions (adult)

Our position statement on Out of Court Resolutions (OOCRs) recognises that OOCRs play a useful role in the justice system. They can be valuable for first-time, low-level offences and can reduce unnecessary criminalisation. But their use must not compromise open justice or judicial oversight - complementing, not replacing, the courts.
