The Committee for Home Affairs has launched a public consultation on the Criminal Justice System within the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
The consultation is in the form of a 35 question survey which asks individuals how much knowledge of the criminal justice system they have and their perception of crime and punishment.
The survey also seeks to assess individuals opinions and perceptions on what crimes they are most concerned about in Guernsey and whether they think the punishments and deterrents for such acts are justified. Further information is sought on what facilities should be available for prisoners; from counselling and rehabilitations services to television and video game access.
Deputy Lowe, President of the Committee for Home Affairs said: "The Crime and Justice Survey will provide Islanders with the opportunity to feedback their experiences and opinions on a range of crime and justice related issues and services."
"The results of the survey will clarify how we can achieve a justice system which contributes positively to the development of a responsible, tolerant and inclusive society, where everyone is safe, secure and the rights of victims are protected."
The Survey is available online alternatively, paper copies will be available at various locations around the island or upon request.
This consultation is available for completion between the 26th February and 8th of April and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
