Justice

Justice services (policing, courts, corrections) are independent but interrelated, and subject to regular change in their policy environment. We understand the justice sector and its culture. We understand how the community, police, courts, corrections, practitioners and other agencies come together to provide fair and efficient modern justice.

The justice sector is teeming with statistics and operational data. We understand how to use justice data to support the argument for change or investment.

We use demographic data to develop models which forecast future demand for justice services. We use operational data to unpack what is happening within a justice sector agency. We bring the analyse together in succinct, well articulated, evidence based, investment proposals.

Commercial and Advisory Services for Neighbourhood Justice Centre - Project Operational Capacity Review, for Court Services Victoria

Collingwood’s Neighbourhood Justice Centre offers a model of therapeutic jurisprudence unique in Australia.

Court Services Victoria were planning a major expansion and refurbishment with the potential to significantly impact its operating arrangements, and needed to understand these impacts in advance.

Biruu developed an Operational Capacity Review, examining the Centre’s operating arrangements. The study developed scenarios for new operating models, having regard to catchment, jurisdiction, demand, staffing, list management, budgeting, and other matters.

The study also explored opportunities for improvement, and served as a foundation for planning the operational response to the current capital project.
