University of San Diego

Justice in Mexico is a project of the University of San Diego that works to improve citizen security, strengthen the rule of law, and protect human rights in Mexico. This award supports Justiciabarometro, a research initiative that measures the professional development and attitudes of police, prosecutors, public defenders, and judges working in the Mexican justice system about the changes being implemented to the criminal justice system. The information obtained directly from individuals via the survey is compared with official data and provides useful measures for evaluating progress on Mexico's justice reform.
