Pathways and systems-mapping: How can we better understand the system-wide impacts of policies to support a sustainable and effective criminal justice system that delivers value for money? What are the policy and practice implications and considerations at the intersections between criminal, civil and family justice, for example, understanding and addressing problem clustering across jurisdictions?
Background
