Autorenporträt
Modernising Justice was created in 2004 as the Homicide Review Advisory Group (HomRAG), for the purpose of running alongside the work of the Law Commission as it reviewed aspects of the law on murder. It was set up on the initiative of Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC and the late Professor Terence Morris, and initially chaired by the late Very Reverend Colin Slee, Dean of Southwark. In essence, the group is concerned with promoting a just law of murder. In 2011, HomRAG published its first report, 'Public Opinion and the Penalty for Murder: Report of the Homicide Review Advisory Group on the Mandatory Sentence of Life Imprisonment for Murder'. The report was targeted at law-makers and other interested parties and focused on the unjust and outdated nature of the mandatory life sentence for murder. HomRAG rebranded as Modernising Justice in 2016, and is currently chaired by Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC. Since 2011, it has tracked a number of important and high-profile developments in the law relating to murder and whole-life sentences. The group continues to believe that the law of homicide is outdated and in desperate need of reform. Current membership: Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC (Chair), Sir Robin Auld PC, Bryan Gibson, John Harding CBE, Malcolm Dean, Colin Colston, Josepha Jacobson, Nigel Pascoe QC, Victoria Ellis, Michael Charalambous (Co-secretary), Andrew Wheelhouse (Co-secretary).
