Community Justice Consultation 2021

How Can We Stop People From Committing Crime In Midlothian?

The Midlothian Community Safety and Justice Partnership would like to hear from you as part of the spring 2021 Community Justice Consultation.

What is Community Justice?

- It is a way to stop people from committing crime.

- It is a way of making sure everyone has access to services and support for the needs they have (for example drug or alcohol addiction, unemployment, homelessness, mental health needs).

- It is a way to help people lead positive lives so that fewer people will commit crime and fewer people will become a victim of crime.

- It is a way of getting people who live or work locally involved in decisions to make their communities safer.

How can you help?

- We want to know how we can improve our services so that fewer people will become involved in or be affected by crime.

- We want to know how we can support people with an offending history to make changes and give a positive contribution to society.
