"The new Community Justice Centre in Liverpool is based on a scheme in New York, and has been heralded by the government as a way to increase public confidence in the justice system as well as reducing crime. The centre is a joint project between the Home Office, the Department for Constitutional Affairs and the Crown Prosecution Service. It is closely based on Red Hook Community Justice Centre in New York, which Home Secretary David Blunkett visited in 2003. Red Hook was credited with helping to clean up New York’s image when it opened more than 10 years ago."
