The Scottish Government
The devolved government for Scotland is responsible for most of the issues of day-to-day concern to the people of Scotland, including health, education, justice, rural affairs, and transport.
The Scottish Government was known as the Scottish Executive when it was established in 1999 following the first elections to the Scottish Parliament.
The Strategy for Justice in Scotland “shows how the Scottish Government and justice organisations will achieve this vision and continuously improve the Scottish justice system. The justice system includes the many people and organisations who work to keep our communities safe and to administer justice in its various forms: civil, criminal and administrative.
No one part of the justice system can improve the whole justice system on its own. Working together, while respecting the proper separation of organisational powers, is crucial to deliver an effective and efficient justice system.
This strategy uses clear evidence for decisions and makes us focus on the outcomes of our work. It ensures we are ambitious and innovative in all that we do so that we succeed in creating a justice system which best serves the people of Scotland.”
