Justice systems continue to be buffeted by powerful global forces. The pandemic hasserved as a catalyst for conversations about the priorities of criminal justice systems and how they can be transformed to better meet the demands of the modern world. These interconnected systems need to ensure they balance rehabilitation and restorative justice with traditional aspects of sentencing, while helping ensure that the system safeguards communities and provides fairness and dignity to all citizens.
Building on the Foundations of Criminal Justice report published in 2021, this new series will provide an ongoing opportunity to rethink and re-evaluate the foundations of criminal justice systems globally. We hope to create a platform for new and imaginative solutions that can enable safer, more secure, and more prosperous communities.
Over the coming months, Deloitte will draw from international experience in helping justice systems to transform to regularly share insights, innovations and areas of promising practice in this continuously evolving sector.
We will begin by sharing two points of view that focus on growing external threats: cyber-enabled crime, and illicit finance. We explore the impact on justice systems as each represents an example of crime becoming more complex, sophisticated, and digital.
