BEIJING - Judicial organs need to improve their transparency in order to boost public trust, according to a report released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on Monday.

The report said judicial staff are not well aware of the importance of releasing court-related information.

Judicial organs have not yet established an information transparency mechanism and some organs are unable to properly use information technology, the report said.

Some courts and procuratorates still do not have official websites, the report added.

Corruption, fraud and injustice have eroded judicial authority and credibility, according to the report.
