Liz Truss abandons Gove’s plan for problem-solving courts
Gove was an absolute twat but received plaudits for sorting out the Justice department after the mess created by his predecessor Chris Grayling .
Anyway his brexit disloyalty was rewarded with the sack and the new Secretary has decided to roll back some of his reforms.
US-style “problem-solving” courts, in which judges review the progress of convicted offenders to ensure that they comply with their rehabilitation programme in return for staying out of prison, were championed by the former justice secretary, Michael Gove.
These sound an alternative to prison that was worth trying and its a shame that the experiment is now dead.
