Criminal Justice System
|
The Scottish criminal justice system can seem confusing. This section of our website aims to help by offering a step by step guide. From reporting a crime, an arrest being made, the case coming to court, sentencing and what happens next. Whether you’re the victim of a crime, a witness, an accused person or a family member of someone accused or convicted of a crime you’ll find information to help. We explain what happens at each stage of the process. We also explain what the jargon actually means. There are also links to services that can offer additional help and support. |
