Digital technology and data transform the user experience for victims and witnesses interacting with justice services across Scotland. From remote hearings to virtual reality ‘walk-throughs’ of a court environment, technology is helping to transform services to meet modern expectations.
Frontline policing is also responding to the challenges and opportunities of the digital age: officers are becoming experts in digital evidence and forensics, and data is increasingly being shared more seamlessly across the system.
Be part of the discussion as we bring together vital justice agencies in Scotland and internationally to explore how innovative, data-driven solutions, smart devices, cloud platforms, and, increasingly, AI are shaping the justice system in Scotland and abroad.
