21st March 2005

This is the first thematic review of HM Inspectorate of Prosecution In Scotland. The aim is to present a national picture about the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service's response on race issues. This review reflects the high profile which race and equality issues have in the criminal justice system. It therefore attempts to take a holistic view of the whole operation of COPFS including its strategic approach and measuring the Department's compliance with the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000.
