RURAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ROUNDTABLE – 26 JUNE 2020
Rural crime and criminal justice practices and responses face different challenges from those experienced in urban contexts. This Roundtable investigated challenges in international contexts and provided an opportunity for participants to promote their research and practice and build collaborations for future initiatives to promote access to justice.
We asked:
- What are emerging issues in rural access to justice?
- What are potential responses or solutions to these problems?
- How can future research and practice enhance access to justice?
The panel:
Dr Danielle Watson
Senior Lecturer in Justice
Queensland University of Technology
Dr Liz Curran
Honorary Associate Professor
Australian National University and Principal Curran Consulting: Enhancing Justice & Human Rights
Emeritus Professor Joseph F. Donnermeyer
Acclaimed international rural criminologist
Ohio State University
Our expert scholars and practitioners discussed emerging issues in access to justice. The audience were invited to share and engage with our panel and other participants. We hope that this Roundtable will serve to develop agendas and build networks to advance access to justice in rural zones, internationally.
