By looking at the practices of the judicial process from the perspective of its users, social relations in the immediate postwar period will come to the surface. Were the (suspect) collaborators isolated from the rest of society during their trial, or could they count on support? Furthermore, this project relates to the question how society interacted with justice in times of crisis and after large-scale violence. Did the experience of the occupation provide an opportunity for renewed relationships between justice, the offender and society? Can we say that a transformation took place because many more people became involved in the justice system immediately after the war?
