  • police officers follow a range of laws to ensure people are treated fairly 
  • when procedures aren't followed injustice occurs 
  • things such as right to remain silent as the right to an interpreter 
  • the court system might manipulate people with disadvantages into confessing wrongly of an untrue statement.

  • trials shared online can cause people to create an impression on whether or not their guilty
  • people when accused of  crime must be treated as innocent and must be treated as innocent until proven guilty
  • social media can give a bias that crates an unfair trial 
  • pressure builds on the jury to give the punishments based on a bias given by the media
  • Example: Lindy Chamberlain had an unfair trial because of bias on The media

  • corruption is any form of dishonest or unethical behaviour that causes people to act for their own gain 
  • corruption involves bribery in the court to alter how a specific case turns out
  • we have an unbiased and independent court of law it higher authorities to punish those who disobey the law. 
  • we rely on whistle blowers to tell the truth.

  • taking a case to court usually takes 6-8 weeks 
  • this can be because of lack of support for those who cant afford a lawyer 
  •  complex and time consuming law system 
  • taking too long to process a court case results in false/inaccurate testimonies 
  • civil cases sometimes take too long and people end up dropping out because of money
