What the petition asks
We're advocating for reforms in the British judicial system to ensure fairness for all involved in abuse cases. We think this means considering both defendants and victims and promoting transparent investigations.
We think the review should consider reforms in police investigation methods, improved transparency, and the law on media coverage before trial. We think an independent inquiry into police practices is needed to prevent unfair outcomes for defendants, ensuring justice is upheld for all involved.
