"This report raises concerns that the trend towards pre-court summary justice for a range of offences may not be being used `fairly and effectively'. It says that the use of summary sanctions, by the police and prosecutors remains outside of the official inspection regime, warning that there is `an accountability deficit' and calls for a 'thoroughgoing' review of the use and impact of summary powers."
