Two thirds of Britons believe judges and the justice system have become too political, according to a new poll.
A survey of 3,000 over-16s found 67 per cent of people agreed the criminal justice system had become over-politicised.
Meanwhile, 62 per cent said judges 'sometimes make decisions on the basis of their personal political opinions'.
Seven out of 10 believed the criminal justice system is more concerned about the rights of criminals than the rights of victims, the polling by Merlin Strategy found.
Amid widespread concerns over 'activist judges', Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said the research showed confidence in the justice system was 'on the line'.
