Measuring Progress toward Safety and Justice: A Global Guide to the Design of Performance Indicators across the Justice Sector

Abstract

The guide does not prescribe the use of particular indicators for measuring progress toward safety and justice. The choice of appropriate indicators must be the result of a process undertaken in each country and programme. This guide describes that process, explaining the principles that should inform the choice of indicators, and provides examples of possible indicators. If the guide and its examples inspire you to experiment in new ways to monitor your progress and to build systems of indicators that can remain in place after your reform programme is complete, the guide will have served its purpose.
