Scanning for Justice
Jury service is an important way that New Zealanders help make sure the justice system is fair.
In a criminal trial, it is important that jurors understand the scientific evidence and interpret it in an unbiased way.
Our research investigates whether 3D computerised models or resin copies of kōiwi tāngata (human skeletal remains) represent a replication, reproduction, or a reconstruction of the deceased individual's personhood, and what this data represents for Māori, hapū and iwi.
We are looking for participants who identify as Māori and are over the age of 18.
The hui-ā-rōpū/focus group will go for 90 minutes, where kai and inu will be provided for participants.
In addition, each participant will receive a $30 koha in the form of a supermarket gift card.The contact details for the research project are:
