Justice sector projections
We produce the Justice Sector Projections on behalf of the justice sector. The projections are important for strategic planning within the sector.

Comparison reports
These reports monitor the progress of the projections against the real-life behaviour of the system, and also look at how accurate the projection assumptions have been. From March 2016, these were called Justice Sector Outlook reports and included details of any projections refreshed during the most recent quarter.
