Who are we?
SmartJustice campaigns for more alternatives to custody and promotes initiatives that are effective in changing offenders' behaviour, stopping crime before it starts and tackling the causes of crime for adults and young people. We are based at the Prison Reform Trust in London. SmartJustice was initiated by the Network for Social Change, the group behind the Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt campaign. We are also supported by the Big Lottery Fund. SmartJustice has a regional office in Durham, funded by The Millfield House Foundation and the Northern Rock Foundation which covers the North East of England.
What's our aim?
Our aim is to widen the debate on crime and punishment with the general public and the media, to question the effectiveness of prison for non violent offenders and to campaign for more investment in initiatives that tackle the causes of crime and for better resourced alternatives to custody.
What do we do?
Our work includes public events and regional activities, extensive media coverage, talks to a wide variety of community groups and schools and regular briefings on criminal justice including major surveys, on victims views about how to cut non violent crime, in partnership with Victim Support and a survey on women in prison.
Our Alliance
The SmartJustice alliance of supporters includes the National Union of Students, Business in the Community, the Prison Officers´ Association, Shelter and YMCA. Click here for a full list of our alliance partners.
Campaigns
We also run targeted campaigns, currently on women and prison, young people and crime and the links between drugs, drink, mental health and crime. Click here for more information on our campaigns.
