| Brief description of the Unit |
The unit explores justice responses with First Nations peoples, people with disabilities, women and the LGBTQI community within the justice system. The unit provides a contextual and theoretical overview of the historical origins and development of the justice system and how these origins have informed the justice system response to difference. The concept of justice, access to justice and the implications of differential response will also be explored. Contemporary and innovative state, national and international initiatives to address difference will be examined. The unit will draw on case studies from law, policy and programmatic reform to better understand the challenges for justice agencies to ensure an accessible and equitable justice response in a diverse society. |
