Episode Details

The British government aims to expedite justice by shifting less serious criminal cases from jury trials to judge-only decisions, addressing a backlog of tens of thousands of cases. However, concerns about judge safety have been raised due to rare attacks, such as a man punching a judge and throwing a radiator. Critics blame underfunding and neglect, while supporters argue it will deliver faster justice for victims. The proposals exclude serious crimes and legislation is currently moving through parliament, with promised extra security resources if passed. Despite rising online abuse against judges, public trust in the courts remains strong.
