The Digger

We report on people who come into contact with the justice system from arrest through the police, prosecution and courts. Our aim is to highlight individuals whose cases normally go unreported in the mainstream press. Our pages also cover the politics of this system of crime and punishment and the legislation which affects everyone. The courts aim to get at the truth, but often fail to achieve this. We cover people who find themselves victims of state power and abuse of power. Judges have to dispense justice and our job is to report on their use of power. Justice must not only be done but be seen to be done.
