Project Description
We want to help improve the health of Scotland’s most disadvantaged communities by examining how the justice system impacts on health (negatively and positively). Researchers working to understand health inequalities and those studying crime and justice often work separately so evidence about the impacts of justice on health sit apart from evidence about health inequalities (despite the fact that poverty, discrimination and stigma play an important role in both). This programme brings these bodies of expertise together to identify actions to reduce the negative impacts of justice on health and increase opportunities to improve health and wellbeing in Scotland’s disadvantaged communities
