The Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to The Behavioural Insights Team for taking forward exploratory research on interventions to encourage earlier guilty pleas.

The work explored the feasibility of a trial to increase the number of defendants pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity, following BIT's June 2015 research that identified salient messages on the Early Guilty Plea discount as the most promising, feasible and cost-effective behavioural intervention.

The contract value was AUD 40,000.
