I start by thanking the Criminal Justice Committee for its stage 1 report on the Criminal Justice Modernisation and Abusive Domestic Behaviour Reviews (Scotland) Bill and for its support for the bill’s general principles. I am also grateful to all individuals and organisations that provided written or oral evidence to the committee. They have significantly contributed to scrutiny of the bill, which has two very important aims. The first is to provide resilience to the criminal justice sector through modernisation, and the second is to establish a gold standard domestic homicide and suicide review process, so that individuals and communities are better supported by public services and deaths can be prevented.
