Advancing justice

In 2021 and 2022, Maytree explored the relationship between human rights, poverty, racism, and the criminal justice system. To deepen our understanding, we had conversations with and published contributions by researchers and practitioners, as well as individuals with lived experience. The result was “Advancing justice,” a series of articles and podcast interviews.

Thank you to the members of the editorial board who guided us as in producing this series and the contributors for their time and expertise.
