About the blog:<\/strong> Criminal Justice Notes offers a brief insight into a few significant developments in criminal law, policing and criminal procedure over the previous month. The primary focus is on developments that reflect changes to law and policy primarily in the UK, Ireland and the EU. Occasionally, it will also include a major decision from\u00a0international courts and Supreme Courts in other common law jurisdictions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
