The faith and community dimension

Churches' Criminal Justice Forum and pact (Prison Advice and Care Trust) believe that problems associated with crime cannot all be successfully addressed by the Criminal Justice system alone. Both CCJF and pact are rooted within the Christian tradition.

We believe criminal behaviour, its underlying causes and its consequences, should be of concern to all faith groups. Where possible we have tried to introduce a multi-faith dimension to the new What Can I Do? We want to see people of faith taking a lead in fostering a culture of active engagement and shared community responsibility, and volunteering is the clearest demonstration of a willingness to do so.

The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) is equally committed to communities playing a part in reducing re-offending and increasing public confidence in Criminal Justice, through its Communities and Civil Renewal Strategy.
