Justice Making, Justice Spaces, and Justice Users
This insightful book reimagines how justice systems can be reshaped to better serve the needs of people—especially those who are disadvantaged. It focusses on public spaces in Goa, such as courtrooms, police stations, protest sites, and classrooms. The authors ask how these spaces are structured. Besides, what must change for them to truly support those seeking justice. Drawing on insights from practitioners, activists, and researchers, the authors explore how ordinary people relate to these spaces and the barriers they face. Grounded case studies and theoretical reflections are offered. Yet, the chapters also offer a wider commentary on how we might design justice systems that are more inclusive, accessible, and people-centred.
