The CPS has one Departmental Strategic Objective for the period, which is:
To bring offenders to justice, improve services to victims and witnesses and promote confidence, by applying the Code for Crown Prosecutors, adopting a proportionate approach to determine which offenders should be charged and which should be diverted from court, and by firm and fair presentation of cases in court.
Two PSAs are most directly relevant to the work of the CPS. These are:
PSA 23, 'Make communities safer' focuses on protecting the public from serious violent crime, reducing the level of serious acquisitive crime, tackling anti-social behaviour issues, and reducing re-offending. The lead on PSA 23 is the Home Office. The Crown Prosecution Service will play a key part in the achievement of this PSA.
PSA 24, also known as the Justice PSA, has the objective of delivering a more effective, transparent and responsive criminal justice system for victims and the public. The lead on PSA 24 is the Ministry of Justice. The Crown Prosecution Service will also play a key part in its achievement.
