Abstract
The aim of this research is to gain insight into the educationalization of the ‘rule of law’ by doing a qualitative case study of the ‘Education 4 Justice’ initiative by UNODC, which aims to prevent crimes and create a culture of lawfulness through education. The purpose of the Education 4 Justice initiative, the methodology adopted by this initiative for achieving its objective, and the initiative’s expected impact are analyzed using different theoretical frameworks in this research. Literature on educationalization provides the framework for analyzing how the initiative was educationalized and explored the purpose of such an effort. Literature on indoctrination provides the framework for analyzing the methodologies, tools, and learning resources of the initiative and deciding if it is indoctrinatory in nature. Finally, Gert Biesta’s functions of education framework has been utilized to discuss the nature of the E4J initiative. Primary and Secondary research has been carried out, and documents including handbooks for teachers, guide for policymakers, meeting reports of various committees and sub-committees, online games, videos, and other learning tools of the E4J initiative were reviewed. The findings provide insight into how the initiative got introduced, the way it is designed, and what it aims to achieve. Thus, this research highlights the educationalization of the ‘rule of law' and how an initiative like E4J aims to prevent crimes through education.
