She's Home Secretary, its long been a British tradition that the Home Secretary makes some contentious final decisions in judicial cases, though as it happens I believe she's changing the law so that in future it'd be judges making the decision but for now its her responsibility.

The Home Secretary used to I believe get the final say in whether murderers on life terms (aka "Her Majesty's Pleasure") could be released or not.
