Police have been ordered to review their handling of the case of a judge accused of sexually abusing young children after claims that they failed adequately to investigate him because he was a friend of the chief constable.
The judge, who for legal reasons can be named only as Judge X, has been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Guardian, May 2008
Anybody who has been plugged into the news over the past few months could be forgiven for believing that police searching a former care home in Jersey have already found evidence of children being murdered. This belief could have been encouraged by headlines such as: &#8221; &#8216;Six or more&#8217; bodies at Jersey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Guardian, February 2008
The Independent Police Complaints Commission faces a crisis of confidence after a network of more than a hundred lawyers who specialise in handling police complaints resigned en masse from the commission&#8217;s advisory body.
In a strongly-worded letter to the IPCC&#8217;s chairman, Nick Hardwick, the lawyers expressed their &#8220;increasing dismay and disillusionment&#8221; at what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Guardian, August 2005
The retiring lord chief justice, Lord Woolf, today makes a passionate plea for a new approach to law and order which would see a major shift away from punishment towards the solution of problems which generate crime.
Writing in today&#8217;s Guardian, Lord Woolf suggests a shortlist of four strictly limited categories of offenders [...]]]></description>

Several hundred years ago when red-faced judges and pot-bellied politicians were happy to procure power by ordering men to be hanged by the neck and left dangling to rot by the wayside, there was a popular rhyme: "Little villains oft submit to fate, so great ones may enjoy the world in state."]]></description>
