I'd say there is more justice for the defendant in having a more substantively public process, less chance of the evidence being rushed through, more chance of it being more carefully considered, with everyone involved being conscious of what they say and how that might be more widely understood

I wouldn't make it the centrepiece of an argument to retain them, but it is a piece of evidence to support assertions of their civic importance. Personally, I think they play an important role in making proceedings more public - slowing it down, making it accessible for a wider public to understand

On the democracy discussion, there is evidence (from the US) of people going on to engage more in civic activities including a (from memory) 10% increase in voter turnout after jury service. I can try and dig out references if you are interested

I will argue that these reports are not only efforts to produce social change for people who are homeless, but also amount to efforts to change the inquest system itself, into a system focused on issues of social welfare.

Looking at the way in which homelessness is being talked about in these reports, this lecture will explore what these reports tell us about the contemporary death investigations and the Coronial system.

Perhaps more importantly than the increased numbers, analysis of these reports reveals a shift in the issues being identified, with many now directly focused on a fundamental question of housing need rather than on the death itself.
