Answer
The Government are taking end-to-end action to transform the justice system’s response to violence against women and girls in a truly cross-Government effort. Our strategy sets out how we will achieve this by preventing these crimes, pursuing perpetrators and supporting victims.50% vibes
Verdict: RED (20/100)
The reply acknowledges that the issue spans Government and that the justice system has a role, but it does not name any specific criminal justice measure, mechanism, or action. The reference to a strategy does not describe what it will do, so the question about the Minister's concrete steps is only partly addressed. Someone reading it would still lack the specifics they need and would likely need to ask again.
How we got there
| Question item | Coverage | Specificity | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| What the Minister is doing, working with Cabinet colleagues, to help tackle violence against women and girls through the criminal justice system. | Partially Addressed | Hedged | Statement 1 acknowledges the cross-Government nature of the effort and the justice system's role, which touches on what the Minister is doing with Cabinet colleagues. However, it names no concrete criminal justice measure, mechanism, or action, and statement 2 only refers to a strategy without describing any criminal justice steps, so the answer stays at the level of general framing. |
