Just Spaces: security without prejudice in the wireless courtroom (ARC Linkage Project Administered by University of Western Sydney) (2013–2016)
Abstract:
Criminal defendants around the world are increasingly being placed in glass-framed docks, or even cages, in
the courtroom. Courts in Australia, Europe and the US have found that the right to a fair trial can be
jeopardised by this practice. This project, for the first time, tests this important claim under experimental
conditions. It develops protocols for human rights compliant courtrooms, taking advantage of new wireless
technologies that permit flexible furniture arrangements and customised security measures.
