Co-production: to explore the co-production of research with people with lived experience, to promote engagement with the research process and findings. This includes understanding effective approaches in engaging justice system users in the co-design, co-production and dissemination of research.

Background

To address evidence priorities set out in this ARI, we need to draw on a wide range of analytical and research methodologies, including the use of AI. We want to engage with researchers to enhance our scientific capability and explore how innovative methods can be applied to justice research and analysis.
