Justice Reimagined

Rethinking the Foundations of Global Justice Systems

Exploring the solutions that can enable a safer, more secure, and more prosperous society.

The impact of the Covid -19 pandemic has prompted a reevaluation of the justice systems’ priorities. What has emerged is a need to balance rehabilitation and restorative justice - all while ensuring a fair and dignified system that safeguards communities.

The Justice Reimagined series explores these new priorities and provides a platform for discussion on the imaginative solutions that can enable a safer, more secure, and more prosperous society. The series features a framework that considers the critical variables now impacting the justice system and the ramifications for crime-solving, including for increasingly large-scale and complex crime.

While these change factors are disruptive, they also provide opportunities for justice systems to become more holistic, rehabilitative, and make use of advanced capabilities, like GenAI and automated processes.

Exploring Opportunities to Transform Justice Systems

The Justice Reimagined series seeks to rethink and re-evaluate the foundations of global criminal justice systems, revisiting insights from our 2021 report, The Future of Criminal Justice, which focused on COVID-19’s short-term consequences for justice systems. 

Rethinking criminal justice systems is a complex exercise comprising a range of interconnected variables. To tackle this complexity, Justice Reimagined features a framework with the two following key components. 

  • Change factors: the critical variables that need to be studied to understand their impact on the current state of criminal justice systems and their needs.
  • Opportunities: the multiple opportunities change factors can enable that can lead to more holistic and rehabilitative services.

This framework can serve as the basis for new and imaginative solutions that can help us reimagine justice systems and enable safer and more prosperous communities.
