News Monitor Vol. 9 No. 10 now available!

CoverWe are pleased to announce the release of our latest Justice in Mexico News Monitor, covering the month of October 2014.

The Justice in Mexico Project conducts original research, promotes public discourse, and informs public policies related to rule of law and security issues in Mexico. This academically-based, policy focused program is based at the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of San Diego, and benefits from the support of university students and volunteers. Each month, the project produces an aggregated summary of Mexican and U.S. news coverage in four major categories: Crime and Violence; Transparency and Accountability; Justice System Reform; and Human Rights and Civil Society.

Highlights from October 2014:

  • Investigation continues into kidnapping of 43 education students by municipal police in Iguala, Guerrero
  • Michoacán mayor and four associates arrested for ties to Knights Templar Organization
  • Around the States: Trainings and oral trials take priority
  • CNDH addresses complaints of sexual abuse in schools throughout Mexico
