Human Rights Backlash from Below: Criminal Violence, Justice Attitudes and the Rule of Law in Latin America
This project asks: When do citizens condone human rights abuses like police torture and lynching? It analyzes citizen preferences and decision-making processes with respect to criminal justice and human rights in contemporary Mexico. Data is currently being analyzed in Morelia, the capital city of one of Mexico’s most violence-affected states, Michoacán.
