Trauma and the Law: Applying Trauma-Informed Practice to Legal and Judicial Contexts

`Trauma-informed practice’ is being increasingly applied to legal and judicial practice. Mounting evidence supports the contention that `more effective, fair, intelligent, and just legal responses must work from a perspective which is trauma-informed’ (Randall & Haskell, 2013).

This Blue Knot publication introduces the core principles of trauma-informed practice to the legal and justice sectors. It presents the evidence base for widespread application of trauma-informed practice within and across the legal system and judiciary, and the many benefits of their implementation, for practitioners, clients, organisations and systems.
