Systematic review as method: Exploring public user experiences of the justice system
Lund Social Science Methods Centre invites Dr Anna Tsalapatanis, lecturer of Sociology and Social Policy at the University College London, to talk about systematic review as method.
Systematic reviews have become a cornerstone of evidence-based research across disciplines, offering a rigorous and transparent method for synthesising existing knowledge. Despite this, these methods have only sporadically been applied to justice system questions, and while there is a great deal of research on the experiences of lay users of the justice system in the UK, there has yet to be any meaningful attempts to systematically collect and review this literature.
The Nuffield Foundation funded Justice Review, aims to do just that, and, using experiences from this ongoing project, this workshop will consider how we apply systematic review methods to justice system questions. In doing so, it will first consider the different types of literature and evidence reviews and what they entail, before exploring systematic reviews and their key stages in more depth. Using practical exercises and collaborative discussion, it will dig down into a series of methodological dilemmas that arose, including the specific problem of interdisciplinarity in research on the justice system, and the promises and pitfalls offered by technological advances such as AI.
The workshop is designed for researchers at all levels who are interested in enhancing the methodological understanding of their literature reviews or those with an interest justice system related questions.
