Enabling Environment

People-centred justice implies continuous improvement. New ways of resolving or preventing justice problems need to be discovered, tested and implemented. New, better models for delivering justice services must be able to replace existing ones. This page shows justice leaders from governments, academia, civil society organisations and the wider public what is needed to create a level playing field between new and old justice service delivery models.

To create an enabling environment or a justice system that is open to change and innovation, we need ‘a committed coalition of justice leaders’ and an ‘enabling regulatory and financial framework’. Find out more about these ideas in the below sections.

Historically, there is a powerful trend to concentrate justice in state institutions. Courts of law, prosecutorial services, police and even administrative authorities are seen as the custodians of justice and dispute resolution. Data from justice needs studies show that this arrangement is unsustainable. Everywhere, around 5-10% of the serious and impactful legal problems are submitted to courts. This requires a serious rethinking of the role of the state as the main provider of justice. This section looks at various trends that ‘open up’ justice – to the private sector or to public-private partnerships. It is for justice leaders who want to see inspiration about alternative arrangements of justice services and justice processes.

Courts, police and other justice institutions face many choices: they can do their work in house or outsource it to specialists from other public organisations or the private sector. Services can be organised through public-private partnership. Or the service can be "given" to a regulated profession. How to organise justice survices in such a way that the best solutions will be available?
Providing information and advice is mostly outsourced to private sector law firms. Sound make or buy decisions have to be made for mediation services, serving documents, operating prisons and therapeutic interventions. Every task requires some form of public private cooperation. This creates space for innovation in the People-centered field. Click on the link below to find out more about the best practices for procuring services and technologies in the justice sector?
