A new court model is launching in North and South Tyneside to support women convicted of low-level offences by addressing underlying issues like trauma and addiction. By allowing judges to monitor rehabilitation directly, the system aims to reduce re-offending rates and provide an alternative to prison for those who do not pose a risk to the public.
