We are pleased to announce that RAND Europe, a not-for-profit research institute committed to improving policy and decision-making through evidence and analysis, has joined the Justice for All Series as an official Research Partner.

RAND Europe brings a wealth of experience in criminal justice policy, systems reform, and societal impact assessment—making them ideally placed to support the aims of the series. Their work will help ensure that the insights and discussions generated during each event are underpinned by data, grounded in rigour, and translated into practical policy recommendations.

With each session in the series addressing a distinct theme—ranging from the rights of the accused to survivor support, prison rehabilitation, and the financing of justice—RAND Europe will play a vital role in helping capture and distil key findings across the series. Their research input will also support the post-series impact report, ensuring that outcomes are measurable, credible, and accessible to decision-makers in government, the judiciary, and the corporate sector.

Speaking on the collaboration, Alderman Robert Hughes-Penney, Sheriff-Elect of the City of London (2025–2026), commented:

“RAND Europe’s involvement adds depth and seriousness to our ambition to not only convene conversations—but to shape meaningful, long-term change. Their independent, research-led approach will help us build a lasting legacy for justice reform in the UK and beyond.”

This partnership reinforces the series’ commitment to aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), ensuring that the themes discussed are not only grounded in moral and historical imperatives, but in sound evidence and strategic foresight.

RAND Europe’s involvement also reflects the growing recognition that justice cannot be advanced in isolation. It must be shaped collaboratively—with input from legal professionals, policymakers, business leaders, and the research community working in concert.

Further details about RAND Europe’s contributions, including summary reports and thematic insights, will be shared following each event in the series.
