Sensi & Research

The prison system, the judicial system, and crime are complex topics that are often misunderstood by the public. Alter Justice believes it is important to present the public with a realistic picture of crime, incarceration, and the judicial system.

Alter Justice aims to inform and raise public awareness about issues related to crime, criminalization and incarceration, and to share the results of research conducted on these topics through various tools and activities focused on information, awareness, and public education.

Thanks to our expertise, we can inform the public about the status of the correctional system, detention conditions, and the main challenges faced by people involved in the criminal justice system.
