In this Wednesday webinar, we will consider the pressing issue of the Australian Criminal Justice system. Melanie Schwartz, Deputy Head of School in the Faculty of Law, UNSW will be talking about Justice Reinvestment – a cutting edge new strategy being employed in communities in Australia to answer the questions: how should we deal with our overflowing prisons? How can we work with places where lots of people go to prison, to address the underlying issues that lead to offending behaviour?
