The research titled "Ethnic Monitoring in the Criminal Justice System," commissioned by the Department in 2022, is focused on understanding and addressing ethnic inequalities within the Irish Criminal Justice System.

Dr Avril Bannon from Maynooth University and Dr. Denis Bracken from the University of Manitoba are conducting this research. They aim to provide a comprehensive report addressing all aspects of ethnic monitoring in criminal justice, including its methodology, outcomes, and policy implications. The report is expected to be finalised in the first quarter of 2024.
