How can we define and measure procedural justice and (subjective) fairness? How does this vary by jurisdiction, and protected characteristics?

Background

We want to modernise the procedures and infrastructure of our courts and tribunals, leading an effective, efficient and coordinated justice system across all the civil, criminal and family justice jurisdictions.

Next steps

We can be contacted at the following email address: evidence_partnerships@justice.gov.uk.
