Magistrates Opinion Polling

Verian has partnered with our client, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), to understand attitudes towards becoming a Magistrate.

Approach

Using an online methodology, a representative sample of adults 18-65 from England and Wales were surveyed using Kantar’s online omnibus. The research was conducted 13th – 17th November 2025, with 934 interviews completed.

Quotas were set to ensure a representative sample in terms of age, gender, region, and socio-economic grade. Age and gender were interlocked (meaning quotas are set, for example, for females 16-24). We surveyed only respondents in England and Wales with the overall sample weighted to be nationally representative.
