The Department of Justice & Constitutional Development as the lead department for the Criminal Justice System (CJS) Review Project is conducting seminars to review the CJS within the Justice Crime Prevention and Security  (JCPS) cluster. This process started in Polokwane on Monday 1 September 2008.
The objective of the review is to identify blockages in the Criminal Justice System and to make recommendations for improvement. Several seminars will be undertaken where presentations will be made by eminent experts from academic institutions and Criminal Justice System stakeholders. The project leader within the Department is Ms Siegrid Schulenburg.
There have already been several media adverts running to solicit inputs from the public and all stakeholders in relation to improving the way in which the CJS deals with court case delays, awaiting-trial detainees, bail, sentencing, case flow management from the scene of crime, petty crime and managing of safe keeping of dockets.
The CJS Review treats communication with the public as a critical aspect to promote a clear, simple and common understanding of the review process and to restore public confidence in the whole Criminal Justice System.
