Exploring The Criminal Justice System
You may have come into contact with the criminal justice system (CJS) as a witness or a victim.
At some point, you could be asked to do jury duty or wonder how the CJS fits together.
You may like to find out how you can get involved.
You may simply be concerned about the increased levels of Police surveilance.
How do you find out who you should contact if things go wrong? How justice is dispensed? What are your rights if you are stopped and searched by the Police? How can you become a magistrate or a crown prosecutor? Why do so many people feel disenfranchised and impotent, when they should feel informed and empowered? These questions and others will be addressed in the series. Exploring Justice Radio ShowWorking with Unity 101 Community Radio, every month the show will raise awareness and understanding by exploring different aspects of the CJS. Each live show lasts an hour and several guests with professional knowledge and involvement in the CJS will explain their role. During the show, the guests' choice of music will be played and the audience is encouraged to ask CJS-related questions by telephone (02380 235055), email or MSN Messenger.Listen LIVE to Unity 101 Radio!
