This study examined the potential of adapting the software Capability Maturity Model as a process improvement paradigm within the context of industrial process improvement. Traditional methods of process improvement incorporate some facets of Total Quality Management (TQM), business process improvement (BPI), business process reengineering (BPR), business process management (BPM), benchmarking, regulation, legislation, Six Sigma, and standards. Hypothesis testing showed two statistically significant outcomes regarding the first and the fifth maturity levels reflecting ad hoc processes and optimized processes, respectively.

This paper considered the emerging use of predictive analytics in the justice domain with respect to potential bias. It discussed predictive algorithms and methods from the perspectives of reported crime and community safety in the United States. Although predictive algorithms, techniques, and implementation contexts are emerging, imperfection exists with respect to their use. Despite any effectiveness or efficiency of using predictive algorithms, such use should neither deny human rights nor transgress societal laws. Regardless, the emergence of predictive policing fuels and enhances the classic debate of balancing liberty versus security within a civil society.

“…The evolution of financing and development strategies in the justice sector of developing countries has been the subject of numerous scientific studies in recent years (Doss et al, 2012;Doss et al, 2013;Stone et al, 2005). The challenges faced by the justice sector, including insufficient funding, corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of trained personnel, have long been a concern and have hindered the sector's ability to provide accessible and effective legal services to citizens (Beck & Levine, 2005;Mintz, 2005).…”

The justice sector in developing countries faces numerous challenges, including a lack of funding, corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled personnel. Despite these challenges, there are also growth opportunities, like utilizing technology for better efficiency and transparency. The paper examines the successful financing mechanisms implemented in the justice sector globally. Public-Private Partnerships have proven effective in Latin America, while performance-based financing has worked well in Africa, linking financing to specific results to enhance sector performance. Asia has successfully used social impact bonds to improve financing and access to justice. Crowdfunding is a popular method for financing justice in Europe, providing a new source of funding for legal aid organizations to help increase access to justice for vulnerable communities. It is essential to continue exploring innovative financing strategies to protect the public interest and sector integrity through clear goals, criteria, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. The paper offers valuable insights into financing options for enhancing the justice sector in developing countries and ensuring citizens' access to adequate and accessible legal services
