You can reach the HS Criminal Law team at [email protected]. We welcome questions about UK criminal law, corrections to published content and suggestions for topics you would like us to cover. All messages are read and answered by a member of our editorial team.
What we can help with
This portal publishes guides and articles on UK criminal law for a general audience. Write to us if you need clarification on something published here, if you have spotted an error or if there is an area of criminal law you would like to see explained. We also welcome feedback on how the material is presented and suggestions for improving accessibility.
Topic requests are particularly useful when they identify a common source of confusion or a question that existing resources do not answer clearly. We cannot cover every request, but reader input helps us prioritise future content.
What we cannot help with
HS Criminal Law is an information portal, not a law firm or advice service. We do not provide legal advice, represent clients or comment on individual cases. If you need advice on a specific matter, contact a qualified solicitor or use a referral service such as the Law Society's Find a Solicitor tool.
We also cannot answer questions about the progress of ongoing cases, recommend particular solicitors or barristers, or assist with applications, appeals or court procedures.
Response times
We aim to reply to all enquiries within 48 hours. Messages sent over the weekend or on public holidays are answered on the next working day. If your question requires research or consultation, we may take longer to respond and will let you know.
Corrections are prioritised. If you have identified an error in published content, we will acknowledge your message immediately and update the relevant page as soon as we have verified the correction.
