Law and Order
The world of criminal justice
Law and Order is an artistic interpretation of criminal justice in Colombia, France, Uganda and the United States. The book and photo series are the outcome of his research on the differences, both visual and intrinsic, between the legal systems in those countries. Jan Banning contrasts prisons and judicial institutions;
thereby highlighting the divergent ways in which societies cope with crime and the institutions they have created to combat it. The selection of countries was made in close collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg, Germany.
Een aantal werken van Law & Order zijn opgenomen in de collectie van het Centraal Museum Utrecht.
