Accountability and Monitoring in the Criminal Justice System

The ACJRD 26th Annual Conference, Accountability and Monitoring in the Criminal Justice System, will take place on Friday, 9th June 2023 at 9.30am (registration from 9am) .

Accountability to society in general, and to participants in the criminal justice system, enhances public respect for the institutions and agencies who are entrusted with the delivery of justice, within a human rights framework.

The Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty requires public bodies, in the performance of their functions, to have regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, promote equality and protect human rights of staff and people availing of their services.

Independent auditing of the responsibility entrusted to these sectors of our society where citizens have safety and justice delivered equitably, necessitates systematic review through monitoring.

In this full day conference, we aim to consider accountability and monitoring of policing, victim support, sentencing, prisons and parole during plenary sessions. In breakout sessions we plan to have presentations and discussion of themes that include discrete areas of diversity, the role of evidence-based data and knowledge, and some current innovative developments.

Our annual conference will appeal to those working in government agencies and in the community to include policymakers, practitioners, academics, civil society and a wide range of disciplines that focus on the victims and perpetrators of crime either within or tangential to the Criminal Justice System.

Members get a discounted registration fee and non-members of ACJRD are welcome to attend. This event will take place in the Camden Court Hotel, Camden Street Lower, Dublin 2. D02 W086.
