India Justice Report
The India Justice Report is a first of its kind national periodic reporting that brings together, hitherto siloed information, to measure the capacity of four pillars of the justice system - the police, the prison system, the judiciary and legal aid—in each state, against its own declared standards or benchmarks.
Through the filters of human resources, infrastructure, workload and diversity it assesses the capacity of 4 pillars of the justice system to deliver to their mandate.
