This act had a huge effect on the public as the number of cases legal aid is available for has been extremely restricted. The qualification for civil legal aid is stated in LASPO s11 . Legal aid is no longer available for certain cases such as immigration, debt, employment and people argue that this is a violation of human rights under the Human Rights Act 1998 and Article 6 ECHR . Legal advice companies such as Amnesty international also state this may be a breach of our human rights. Likewise, there have been many cases in relation to this act from funding not bring provided or problems with legal aid. For example, R v secretary of state of justice 2015 is an example of funding not being available for a criminal trial and whether this was compatible with Human Rights. There have also been disputes about justice as this act may hinder our treatment in the courts and we may be treated unfairly. As only certain cases are now allowed legal funding this could be discrimination and only exceptional cases are allowed in particular areas of the law. On the other hand, The LASPO Act has made huge improvements to the criminal justice system, such as bail. Adding the ‘no real prospect test’ to ensure offenders are still treated justly. It has also made exceptions in domestic violence cases, this could be argued as improving the protection the public against criminals. Similarly, sentencing has been amended and this act has added new offences, this suggests the law is becoming stricter on criminals. Methodology

Criminal organization and the person[s] It is difficult to keep a continuing criminal enterprise profitable and survive over the long term unless there is a means to protect it from law enforcement, which ultimately learns of its existence.   Corruption supports the ongoing existence of organized crime, because corrupt public officials protect organized criminal groups from law enforcement and disruption [Rose-Ackerman and Palikfa, 2016]. For example, Eurasian Transnational Organized Crime Groups are politically and financially motivated organized crime groups influenced by, associated with, or originating from the former Soviet Union or Central Europe. They profit through tax-evasion schemes and using corrupt officials to embezzle government funds and they have also defrauded newly formed government of billions of dollars, as industries and resources formerly owned by the government have been privatized. Corruption prevention and investigations in all sectors are necessary to reduce the ability of organized criminal groups to survive and profit, and for a society to achieve sustainable development.
