Abstract

This scientific and research-based paper took a qualitative and doctrinal approach to analysing the possibility for reforming Bangladesh’s criminal justice system through the systematic use of technology. The study was based on the recognition that Bangladesh’s criminal justice system is hampered by pervasive delays, inefficiency, and accessibility issues, which create strong hurdles to justice and contribute to a decline in public confidence. This paper viewed the use of e-justice as a scientific challenge in institutional modernisation and legal integration, requiring comparative analysis and context-sensitive adjustments. The key argument proposed is that digital change, when guided by comprehensive legislative frameworks and institutional preparedness, may be a powerful facilitator of criminal justice system reform. The study extracted scalable, legally acceptable, and context-relevant mechanisms that may drive Bangladesh’s reform effort through a comparative analysis of lessons learnt from India, the United Kingdom, and the United States, all of which have adopted distinct e-justice frameworks. The objective of this study was to provide an evidence-based, whole-of-government roadmap for Bangladesh’s adoption of e-justice, with a focus on law reform, digital infrastructure, institution building, and accessible justice for marginalised people. The study included a comparative investigation of law and combined law, policy, and technology. Combining doctrinal and comparative insights, the study contributed to the area of knowledge on legal digitalisation in the Global South and provided policymakers, judicial authorities, and development partners with practical advice. It showed how contextually appropriate technological reforms can improve public trust, uphold human rights, and strengthen procedural justice, offering a roadmap for the long-term, technologically driven reform of criminal justice system of Bangladesh
