All sections on this page

Criminal Justice Hub is a project operated by Conviction. This page explains the relationship in plain English.

Conviction supports the project so that volunteers can focus on building useful public information, tools and research-led content.

What Conviction provides

Conviction helps provide the organisational support around Criminal Justice Hub. That support can include governance, infrastructure, accountability and practical help to keep the project moving.

What Criminal Justice Hub does

Criminal Justice Hub designs and publishes public information about the criminal justice system in England and Wales. This includes guidance, prison information, policy libraries, data tools, calculators, maps and other resources.

How editorial decisions are made

Our content is shaped by user needs, public sources, feedback, accessibility standards and research. We aim to explain what is known, link to official sources where useful, and update content when policy, law or services change.

We are not an official public body

Criminal Justice Hub is not a court, police force, prison, probation service, government department or regulator. The website provides general information and tools. It does not provide legal advice or representation.

We separate information from casework

The hub helps people understand processes and find resources. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional about an individual case.

We improve through feedback

Feedback, user research and content insight data help us decide what to improve next.
