Drug diversion schemes more effective than prosecution, study finds

A new analysis of over 62,000 criminal incidents in England found that drug diversion schemes, which steer individuals towards treatment and education instead of prosecution, are significantly more effective in reducing reoffending than traditional legal approaches. Despite evidence of their success, these schemes are underutilized, with disparities in their application based on socioeconomic status and race.

PM convenes emergency meeting after double stabbing in Golders Green as government pledges £25m for Jewish community security

Keir Starmer convened an emergency meeting in Downing Street after a double stabbing in Golders Green that police are treating as terrorism. The prime minister said an attack on the Jewish community is an attack on all of us, as he pledged additional security funding. The suspect is a 45-year-old British national born in Somalia who allegedly targeted visibly Jewish people. Two victims, aged 34 and 76, remain in stable condition in hospital. The government announced £25m in extra security funding for Jewish communities and plans to fast-track legislation against state-sponsored threats.

Legal limbo: Mishandling of audit official's graft case exposes holes in South Korea's criminal justice system

South Korea's criminal justice system faces scrutiny after the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials failed to properly investigate a Board of Audit and Inspection official accused of receiving 1.58 billion won in bribes from construction firms. When the court denied an arrest warrant in November 2023, the CIO transferred the case to prosecution without further investigation. Conflicts over authority for supplementary investigations led to the official being indicted on only three counts involving 290 million won, while 16 allegations worth 1.29 billion won were dropped due to insufficient evidence. The case exposes legal loopholes ahead of the prosecution service's planned abolition in October.
