Are you a thought leader working in the digital justice space? If so, we are delighted to invite you to contribute to our ‘Digitising Justice Campaign Week’, commencing 24th-26th June.  

Over the three days we will publishing insights from techUK members, policymakers and technical experts within the industry, serving as an opportunity to share their experiences and expertise to showcase the impact of digitalization within the Criminal Justice Sector.  

During this time of rapid change in the digital landscape, it is important for us to consider the power of technology in transforming the criminal justice sector.
