The Malta Sociological Association (MSA) expresses its grief and sadness related to the murder of Bernice Cassar. We express condolences to her family and friends, and appeal for caution and respect in public discourse on the matter.
The MSA augurs that the rule of law and justice prevail in the investigations related to this and other cases. At a broader level, we believe in a more deliberative policy process, which is based on evidence and which gives due consideration to factors such as people’s grievances , institutional shortcomings and challenges, expert advice, and power relations.
