More information

 

The Centre for Criminal Justice (CCJ) was founded in 1989 by staff of the School of Law of the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg. It was established as a research centre aimed at promoting and protecting human rights in the criminal justice system, and was formed as a response to the failure of the system to deal effectively with the political violence in the greater Pietermaritzburg area. The Centre for Criminal Justice is committed to the furthering of human rights through the law, directing its skills in the area of criminal and social justice towards the understanding and solution of local community problems, focusing on challenges within the justice system.
