Gemma Buckland spent twelve years as an advisor to the Justice Select Committee in the UK parliament. This brought her into close contact with those who make decisions on our behalf. She led influential inquiries on prisons, probation, crime reduction and the treatment of young adults and women in the criminal just system. She is now the director of Do It Justice, a research and advocacy consultancy.

Gemma’s essay is entitled: How politicians and the public think about crime. It draws from her time in parliament and her insights on the connected thought processes of politicians, the press and the public.
