Ending Racial Disproportionality in the Criminal Justice System

Recommendations from the Women’s Justice Reimagined partnership and the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Women Affected by the Criminal Justice System.

Racial disproportionality underpins deep disparities within the criminal justice system. Radical and systemic change is urgently needed to address this. Antiracist practices must be embedded in the
criminal justice system.

The Women’s Justice Board and policy makers must ensure that women with lived experience have a central role in their work. This must include attention to communication, access barriers, and diverse representation.
