'Trust, consent and the rule of law', London, United Kingdom
13 May 2011 - 13 May 2011
United Kingdom
A conference entitled 'Trust, consent and the rule of law' will take place on 13 May 2011 in London, United Kingdom.
This event will look at the EU-funded Euro-justis ('Scientific indicators of confidence in justice: tools for policy assessment') project. Over the past three years, it has developed a standardised approach to measuring confidence in criminal justice and public feelings of security. The project has designed and tested a suite of survey questions which can be used by member states that want to measure trust in justice.
The project has been based on the assumption that an effective justice system must assess itself not only against narrow criteria of crime control, but against broader criteria relating to people's trust in justice and their sense of security. In the long term, public compliance with the law depends on the legitimacy of institutions of justice. Institutions command legitimacy if people recognise that they are fair, just and provide public security.
The Euro-justis was funded under the Seventh Framework Programme, and brought together nine entities from the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland, France, Lithuania and Italy.For further information, please visit: https://sites.google.com/site/eurojustislondonconference/(opens in new window)
