Half of all female judges have concerns about their safety in court, while safety out of court is a concern for almost the same number (45%), according to the latest Judicial Attitudes Survey.
For male judges, the figures were lower―36% had safety concerns in court and 32% out of court. The survey, published last week, was carried out for the judiciary by the Judicial Institute at UCL and completed by 99% of judges. Two thirds of respondents felt judges are less respected by society at large now than they were five years ago.
