Crime and Justice - Social Research Institute

The need for those working in the area of crime and justice to understand the concerns, priorities and attitudes of the people they serve has never been greater. Ipsos MORI's crime and justice team work with clients from across the criminal justice system to understand what really matters to the public and to those within the system.

Please take a look at our latest slide-pack, which outlines what the public think of key crime policies.

Victims and Witnesses

Victims and witnesses are at the heart of the criminal justice system. Our experience includes managing the Witness and Victim Experience Survey (WAVES). Our trusted name is vital in reassuring this vulnerable audience that we will treat them with the utmost sensitivity and care.

Policing

We work with police forces to help them set their priorities and budgets, and with policing bodies and central government to get to the heart of public and stakeholder attitudes towards issues including neighbouhood policing, police accountability, and community engagement.

Youth Justice

Our research integrates the views of youth justice service staff, as well as young people inside and outside of mainstream education to get to the heart of the issues facing the youth justice sector. We have conducted annual Youth Surveys for the Youth Justice Board since 1999.

Prisons and Offender Management

Our work illuminates what works with respect to interventions, re-offending, and prisoner transfer schemes. We manage the largest survey of prisoners ever undertaken in Britain, 'Surveying Prisoner Crime Reduction', and have extensive qualitative research experience with both adult and young offenders.

Building Public Confidence

Public confidence in the criminal justice system is essential if local communities are to take an active role in the fight against crime and anti-social behaviour. We can identify the factors driving confidence, and help you design communications to improve your relationship with the public.

Partnership Working and Stakeholders

The focus on effective collaboration between criminal justice and local government agencies has never been greater. We can help you understand what your key stakeholders see as the opportunities and barriers to successful partnership working.
