Justiciabarómetro Police Survey: Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara
On December 18, 2009, the Justice in Mexico Project released the results of a groundbreaking survey titled Justiciabarómetro: Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara, which was developed in collaboration with the Center for Innovation and Governance at the University of Guadalajara (UdG) and the Western Technical Institute for Higher Learning (ITESO). The survey was implemented by the polling firm Data Opinión Pública y Mercados (DATA-OPM), and represents the largest independent study of a police force ever published in Mexico. Focusing on the Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara (ZMG), one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country (second only to Mexico City), this study surveyed nearly 80% of the 6,873 municipal police officers currently serving the more than 4 million inhabitants of the ZMG. Due to its magnitude, breadth of inquiry, and high level of participation, this study makes a noteworthy contribution to the study of public security issues in Mexico.
The Justiciabarómetro forms part of the Justice in Mexico Project at the University of San Diego’s Trans-Border Institute, which provides policy analysis and recommendations concerning the rule of law in Mexico. The Justice in Mexico Project is generously supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and The Tinker Foundation.
