Integrating Justice and Safety Indicators into Institutional Culture: Bangladesh and Nigeria

In this video of the series, Developing Governance Indicators in Justice and Safety: A Country-Led Approach, Selen Siringil Perker, a Research Fellow with the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management (PCJ) at the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, explains some strategies for integrating governance indicators into institutional culture of justice and safety agencies with varying management structures and levels of coordination, drawing on PCJ’s experience working with the police in Bangladesh, and the prosecution in Nigeria.

The PCJ created this video series to share the key principles of its collaborative and locally-driven approach to indicator development that emerged during the Indicators in Development: Safety and Justice project. The series features practical examples from PCJ’s work in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Jamaica on design and implementation of domestic measures of justice and safety.
