Justice System in Scotland

The Scottish justice system is responsible for maintaining law and order, delivering justice, and upholding human rights. It includes police services, courts, and correctional facilities. Police investigate crimes, while courts, including Sheriff Courts and the High Court, hear cases and decide on guilt or innocence. Sentencing and rehabilitation are managed through prisons and community programs. The system is governed by Scottish laws, which can differ from those in other parts of the UK, and is overseen by public authorities and independent judges to ensure fairness and accountability.
