A review of the evidence Summary: The police play an important role in the management of immediate harm and risk associated with domestic violence. However, the hidden nature of domestic violence incidents means that the involvement of police is dependent on a report being made. Set against the backdrop of increasing levels of reporting of domestic violence in Australia, the current study analysed 21 Australian and international quantitative studies of victim self-report data to identify factors associated with victim reporting of domestic violence to police. The analysis found that victims who are female, non-white, experiencing frequent violence and who have been abused in the past are more likely to report. Incidents that involve serious violence, an intoxicated offender and/or child witnesses are also more likely to be reported to the police.

Author: Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Geografia (Mexico) Title: Estadisticas Judiciales en el Marco del Nuevo Sistema de Justicia Penal en Mexico (Judicial Statistics in the Framework of the New Criminal Justice System in Mexico) Summary: Introduction The criminal justice process is a subject of public relevance. Through this, interests are safeguarded and guarantees are preserved constitutional rights of the victims as well as of the accused and accused of some crime. Hence the need to strengthen institutions and actors involved in the process of procuring and imparting justice in order to have an equitable, efficient and effective system. The constitutional reform in matters of criminal justice and public security of the year 2008 sought to replace the system of traditional trials, characterized by depositing the review of the process in a single court, for a model of oral accusatory court in which they are separate the investigation, prosecution and resolution functions of the wrongful act. The central intention was to consolidate a justice system effective to fully respond to the purpose of preventing, pursuing and punish the crime, as well as to administer justice expeditiously that was oriented to the clarification of the facts, to the repair of harm to victims, to decrease impunity and to protect innocent. As a result, it is expected to build an environment that increase the confidence of the citizens in the institutions. According to the National Survey of Victimization and Perception on Public Safety, 93.7% of the total of crimes that occurred in the country in 2015 they were not reported or did not result in an investigation by the authority; among the main reasons they mentioned the victims not to denounce were the distrust in authorities and considering a waste of time to go with the Public ministry. With the constitutional amendments it is expected to guarantee the rights of the victim and the accused when introducing new forms of operation of the judicial process, such as the possibility of resolving conflicts through agreements between those directly involved in the criminal act, through the mechanisms of opportunity, mediation and conciliation, without this meaning a violation of the principle of legality. The implementation of the new criminal justice system (NSJP) has brought important challenges for the justice and security system public, due to the number of actors involved and the magnitude of Transformations of an organizational, cultural and normative nature which implies the implementation of the reform; to which the investment is added of economic resources so that this new system operates in all the Mexican territory. In this context, this publication seeks to provide through the analysis of statistical information an overview of the results that the implementation of the NSJP has had, as well as the challenges that still exist of generating timely information that helped to strengthen its consolidation process and to evaluate its performance. The document is composed of five chapters. In the first one addresses the importance of generating statistical information on the new system for the creation of public policies that evaluate their developing. The following chapter describes the challenges and advances in the implementation of the new system based on the analysis of some indicators developed by the Technical Secretariat of the Board of Coordination for the Implementation of the Criminal System (SETEC). Section three presents statistical information about the process of procurement and delivery of justice in Mexico with the aim of compare some results of the NSJP in relation to the system of traditional judgments. The fourth chapter explores in a general way the situation of the victims that are susceptible to resorting to any institution of attention to victims, as well as the institutional capacities created for their effective attention. The fifth section presents an analysis on the perception and confidence towards system operators to measure the impact of the NSJP from the citizen's perspective. In the final considerations the generation challenges are described and analysis of statistics on the subject, for timely monitoring of institutional changes in order that the main operators create an efficient, expeditious justice system equitable with the content of the reform. With this publication, made in collaboration with SETEC, the Institute contributes to the dissemination of statistics and products related to the issues of law enforcement and justice agreement with the powers granted in the Law of the National System of Statistical and Geographic Information (LSNIEG).
