Social Scientist Elizabeth Kennedy will share findings from The Central American Monitor, a study of governance indicators throughout the region. Indicators include justice and the rule of law, combatting corruption, tackling violent crime, protecting human rights, improving police capacities, limiting military roles, and improving access to information. Elizabeth will discuss key indicators that may be used as evidence of government protection for crime victims.
Elizabeth will be joined in this conversation by Prof. Patrick McNamara, Associate Professor of Latin American History and Human Rights at the University of Minnesota, who is also a frequent expert on country conditions reports for asylum applicants from Mexico and El Salvador, ahead of their conversation later that day as part of the (In)Justice Series | Inside the Carceral State: Policing in El Salvador.
