Digital Justice & Policing 2025: Accelerating the modernisation of justice services in Scotland

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.
