Like every sector, the criminal justice sector faces challenges. Some of these include funding uncertainty, delivering a connected justice system in the digital age, managing prisoners' mental health and dealing with the court backlog caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
But beyond these challenges, there are many opportunities the sector can capitalise on to build a better future. The Modernising Criminal Justice Conference presents the perfect opportunity for people from the sector to discuss these challenges and opportunities.
The conference is a day focused on solutions. Meet with like-minded peers to empower each other and discuss the most effective strategies, technologies and services to help build an effective and efficient digitised justice system.
Focused on providing as much insight as possible to delegates, the conference covers a broad range of topics. Some of these include:
