Space and place: How do the social and material constructs of space affect interactions with the justice system? How can place-based understanding and approaches account for factors that influence human behaviour and decisions?

Background

The overarching themes that structure this ARI are closely linked, with several questions and issues that cut across them. Some extend beyond MoJ and reflect the interests of other government departments. We want to encourage research that is tangential across multiple objectives and outcomes to develop a holistic approach to analysis that supports policy and operational decision-making. This section outlines cross-cutting themes and approaches that can be considered across our research priorities.
