 | | They are not related to justice in the terms of the Criminal Justice Bill. | | | The Bill, which is a review of criminal procedure, is both necessary and timely but to make it workable and effective specific action under a number of headings is required by the Minister for Justice and the Government. | | | The changes in the criminal law that we are proposing go through all the different procedures that are mentioned, detention for a new purpose, penalties for withholding information or being unable to explain oneself, changes in the traditional civil liberties in relation towards silence and a greater use no doubt of confessions in court. |

| | Explanatory memo of the Criminal Justice Bill 2004 |
| | The Bill proposes a number of amendments to the criminal law, particularly in the area of criminal investigations, which will enhance Garda powers in tackling crime and will generally improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the criminal justice system. | | | Section 79 of the Courts of Justice Act 1924 provides for three bases of jurisdiction for the District Court i.e. | | | amends section 34 of the Criminal Procedure Act 1967 to provide that the Attorney General or the Director of Public Prosecutions, if he or she is the prosecuting authority in the trial, may on a without prejudice basis, refer a question of law arising during the trial to the Supreme Court for determination. |

| | Criminal Justice 'Reform' Act |
| | The bills together are often referred to as the "Criminal Justice Reform Act," or more popularly the "Truth in Sentencing Act." The legislation in fact does reform the criminal justice system -- for the criminal -- but brings neither comfort nor truth to the public. | | | The criminal justice legislation being debated includes House Bill 1213, along with House Bill 1225, the "trailer bill" that was intended to clean up all of the problems in HB 1213. | | | The bill clearly states, "The policy of this state is to sentence persons convicted of felonies pursuant to sentencing matrices." The sentencing matrices define the potential term of confinement, and place of confinement, by how many correctional beds are available. |

| | Criminal Justice Act, 1967 |
| | Instead of introducing the Bill as a Firearms (Amendment) Bill, Roy Jenkins chose to use the Criminal Justice Bill as the vehicle for the legislation. | | | A separate bill would probably have attracted considerable opposition and the Criminal Justice Bill was already a contentious piece of legislation. | | | As a result opposition to Part V of the bill, which introduced licenses for shotguns, was diluted. |

| | The criminal justice bill, now going through parliament, could allow juries in many more cases to be told about the previous convictions of defendants standing trial. | | | The criminal justice bill will go further and allow judges to admit previous convictions or other evidence of misconduct if their value in proving guilt outweighs any possible prejudicial effect on the jury. | | | It's a step too far for many lawyers and judges, who predict a whole new wave of miscarriages of justice. |

| | The Bill sought to abolish the centuries-old right to silence, while introducing new laws to criminalise squatters, road protesters, ravers and the traveling communities. | | | In 1994 the Tory government introduced the Criminal Justice Bill. | | | A draconian set of measures cobbled together by a government keen to look tough and win votes, the Bill amounted to an all-out attack on alternative lifestyles and civil liberties, with stringent new laws designed to stamp out dissent. |
