ScotStat Committees/Groups
The Scottish Government consults users and providers of the statistics which relate to Crime and Justice via the Crime and Justice Committee. The main objective of the Committee is:
- Through liaison between users and providers of statistics on crime and justice: to identify the key strategic statistical information required by all interested parties; and to develop and implement a strategy for prioritising and meeting these needs while minimising the burden on data suppliers and maintaining data quality fit for purpose.
Further information on the Committee's remit, membership, associated working groups as well as meeting papers are available:
