Roundtable: Sharing Experiences of Applied Research for Prosecution Offices' Development in Latin America.

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract/Description

This session will aim to exchange experiences of applied research carried out in Latin American countries to promote the organizational development of prosecutors' offices in that region of the world. This round table will bring together not only the researchers in charge of executing these studies, but also the professionals of the prosecutors' offices that have benefited from their findings and representatives of organizations that have sponsored or supported the realization of these studies. The round table is expected to generate a dialogue that will allow researchers, prosecution professionals and sponsoring institutions to learn what studies have been carried out to promote the organizational development of prosecution offices in Latin America in order to generate collaborative networks that will allow these improvements to be used by prosecution offices in other countries in the region or the world.
