In December, the Justice in Mexico Project released the results of a groundbreaking survey titled Justiciabarómetro: Encuesta de operadores del sistema penal (Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara). The survey represents the largest independent study of a police force ever published in Mexico. 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 (Report in Spanish).
