Performance study of the Bolivian public justice system : an investigation of the criminal process from start to finish for cases of child sexual violence in La Paz
The research identifies procedural performance of the Bolivian Public Justice System in each stage of the criminal process, the proportion of cases of child sexual violence entering the system that reach a verdict, and the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the system in administering justice. The study reveals findings about child sexual violence cases initiating their criminal process in the department of La Paz during the past 10 years (2007-2016), and sheds light on an alarmingly high rate of child sexual violence cases never moving forward to trial nor a final verdict. The report presents specific recommendations.
