Beyond the Encounter: Crime, Policing and Public Trust
Due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty are not privileges for the few; they are the foundation of a functioning justice system.
In recent months, alleged police encounters and extrajudicial killings have sparked intense debate in Pakistan. Frustration with crime and a weak justice system often leads the public to celebrate such killings, but can justice be delivered by denying the right to a fair trial?
In this discussion, we will examine the link between rising crime, policing practices, and public trust, and discuss how we can ensure public safety without compromising the rule of law.
