Criminal Justice Agencies There are crucial relationships between criminal justice agencies and police departments. CAAS provides advice to these organizations on the critical issues relating to communications, coordination, decision-making and information flow. Relevant interface issues encompass topics such as: prioritization of cases; prosecute/don't prosecute decisions; alternatives to prosecutions; improving the quality of case presentation for local prosecutors; examining incarceration and non-incarceration options for offenders; targeted and broad based recidivism reduction programs; juvenile crime reduction; facilitating greater interaction between police and prosecutors; adapting technology to increase the efficiency of the police - prosecution relationship Advice on broader solutions like changes in relevant criminal justice legislation or regulations is provided as well. CAAS also focuses on how technology can help facilitate these processes. Beginning from a macro-level perspective, CAAS personnel examine how managerial and operational elements fit together and how they can be improved. Then, micro-level solutions are identified and implanted to resolve problems and improve operations. Recently, CAAS has been working with Transport for London, the MET police, British Transport Police and the Crown Prosecution Service examining how low-level misdemeanor and disorder offenses committed against the transport systems are prosecuted. This project is a comprehensive examination of all aspects of London's criminal justice system with respect to low-level transport and related offenses, including technological solutions, work flow problems and criminal justice reform proposals to be submitted to Parliament.
