The Center's on-going Project on Reforming the Administration of Justice in Mexico is directed toward providing an integrative framework for systematic analysis and problem-solving: to provide reliable data on crime and the causal variables associated with criminal behavior; to develop useful indicators and contribute to the improved performance and efficiency of actors and institutions in the justice system; to assess the relationship of civil society to the justice system, and particularly the ability of citizens and communities to access and oversee the justice system; and to contribute urgently needed policy solutions to the problems of criminality, corruption, and impunity that obstruct Mexico's democratic consolidation and complicate U.S.-Mexico relations.
In working toward these goals, this project is meant to provide information about existing challenges and feasible alternatives and build networks between key leaders and experts, with the final objective of reforming the administration of justice - and ultimately strengthening the rule of law -- in Mexico. There are a number of useful outputs and resources available through this website.
