[AISWorld] HICCS Social and Criminal Justice Mini Track

[Cathy Urquhart]

Dear All,

We're delighted to announce our HICCS 2024 Mini Track on Social and Criminal Justice, which is part of the special track: Information Technology, Social Justice and Marginalized Contexts

ICT AND SOCIAL AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE MINITRACK<https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-57/information-technology-social-justice-and-marginalized-contexts/#ict-and-social-and-criminal-justice-minitrack>
Social justice is the belief that everyone deserves fair and equal treatment. ICT and Social justice research refer to studies about actions that promote equal rights, equal opportunities, and equal treatment as well as studies that the use of ICT that uncover social injustice. The guiding principles of social justice are human rights, access to basic elements such as food, water, shelter, safety, education, and opportunities, equal participation in decision-making, and equity to reduce systemic barriers to ensure every individual is treated fairly and equitably.
Criminal justice is an umbrella term that refers to the laws, procedures, institutions, and policies at play before, during, and after the commission of a crime. Criminal justice has two central ideas: Suspects, convicted criminals, and victims of crime all have certain rights. Criminal conduct should be prosecuted and punished by the state following set laws.
Given that ICTs are involved in the way that we as individuals carry out our work and leisure activities, in the way that we organize ourselves in groups, in the forms that our organizations take, in the type of societies we create, and thus in the future of the world, ICTs are thus deeply implicated in criminal and social justice, as information systems inscribe our understanding of the world, and our attendant prejudices. We know for instance, that algorithms embedded in AI can amplify racism, sexism, ableism and other forms of discrimination.

This minitrack invites submissions of original work concerning the intersection of information systems research with social and criminal justice. Studies about the uses of ICT to uncover inequalities and injustice, and to promote justice at all levels (i.e. racial, climate, age, etc. ) and equality and equity for those with fewer privileges such as people of color (POC), refugees and asylum seekers, unhoused, and people with disabilities. We also welcome critical approaches to these topics. We also welcome submissions of research-in-progress as well as those that are practically oriented yet have the potential to make significant contributions to the research in this area. The relevant topics for the minitrack include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

ICT and social inclusion
