Details

This book examines public accountability and transparency in the criminal justice process, interrogating both traditional and changing digital methods of achieving open justice.

Drawing on empirical studies conducted in courtrooms and a review of media court reporting and social media alongside their own experiences, the authors explore the human impact of inequality of access to the justice system and the potential issues with digitised courts data. Crucially, the book challenges the confusion and inconsistency which characterises justice system data management within and beyond England and Wales. In doing so, it considers ways in which access to justice, rehabilitation of offenders and public accountability could all be enhanced.
