How can we improve forecasts of case volumes for the courts and tribunals system and the subsequent requirement for prison places? How can we better understand future demand and supply, to help plan for the delivery of services?
Background
Delivering the Scottish Government’s Vision for Justice requires a whole system approach as recognised in its four underpinning core principles: ‘Founded in equality and human rights’,’ Evidence-based’, ‘Embed person-centred and trauma-informed practices’ and, ‘Collaboration and Partnership’. As such, Justice Analytical Services have identified the theme of ‘Whole Justice System Analysis’ as a research priority. This theme includes holistic research into justice equalities, justice economics and justice as a system – robust research on all of these topics will inform work towards the Vision for Justice aims.
