This paper reviews the state of knowledge on the role of security and justice (S&J) in the development process.
The purpose is to enable DFID and its partners to gain a better understanding of the returns available from investments in this area, in terms of economic growth, poverty reduction and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
