Crime and justice

With awareness of both historical and contemporary oppression, we consider the meaning of ‘justice’ and question how it can be won.
Our journalism highlights cases of criminal violence to reveal the countries where human rights are best protected and to expose corruption and discrimination in the justice system. Here, we also explore the role of new technologies and examine its implications for democracy, press freedom and human rights. We also ask questions about the future of our justice systems, including whether prison abolition should be the way forward.
