The MoJ commissioned Ms Hopkins, a senior researcher in its analytics unit, to study the effects of the Sex Offender Treatment Programme, which had been used since 2000.
However, the programme was allowed to continue until March 2017 while Ms Hopkins's study was reviewed, checked and reworked before it was published three months later. "The Ministry of Justice and the secretary of state wouldn't want to be giving people treatment that they thought didn't work," he said at the end of the seven-day hearing.Earlier, the tribunal heard that prison and probation officials at the MoJ had expressed concerns about the methods used in Ms Hopkins's study and wanted the research to stop.
However, the tribunal was told that it led to a breakdown in relations with Ms Hopkins who complained that in one meeting Ms Endean had shouted at her:"Wipe the smile off your face."An internal grievance investigation was conducted into the way managers had handled the analyst's claims of"bullying" and the stress-related mental health problems that she said it had caused.
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND THE MINESTRY OF JUSTICE, COVERING UP RAPE AND ABUSE SINCE THEY TOOK OFFICE, SPENDING 1000s OF POUNDS ON OFFENDERS NON ON VICTIMS, AN UTTER DISGRACE!!!
