How are experiences of justice treatment interdependent with justice outcomes and decisions? What evidence is there to suggest that both victims, accused and defenders care about the overall rights and fairness of processes, challenging zero-sum game models?
Background
The Scottish Government’s Vision for Justice aims to establish an effective, modern person-centred and trauma-informed approach to justice in which everyone can have trust, including as victims, those accused of crimes and as individuals in civil disputes. As such, Justice Analytical Services have identified the theme of ‘Justice Processes & Experiences’ as a research priority. Robust research on justice processes, the experiences of complainers and the accused as well as the functioning of juries will inform work towards this aim.
