Description
This breakout session will discuss new evidence on the economic and social costs of justice problems, including the costs to people facing these problems, to third parties as well as the public costs. It will explore evidence, related to the common justice problems that people experience, the pathways they follow to obtain information, assistance and resolution, and the consequences when justice service delivery does not respond effectively. The discussion will also take a broader view of how unresolved justice problems, crime and insecurity can affect societies and economies. By linking evidence on costs and outcomes with prevention, early intervention and service delivery, it will explore how governments can identify effective and fiscally sustainable responses, allocate resources more strategically and improve societal and economic outcomes.
