The perception of rising insecurity has plagued Paraguay over
the past decade as the country has continued its transition from
authoritarian to democratic rule. At the same time, reforms of the
penal code and the code of criminal procedure have been
implemented, leading many to attribute the rising sense of
insecurity to the new, rights-based approach to criminal justice.
In "Security in Paraguay: Analysis and Responses in Comparative
Perspective," the International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard Law
School assesses the disparity between the sensation of insecurity
and actual levels of urban crime. The book further analyzes the
impact of political actors and the media in heightening public fear
of crime. "Security in Paraguay" draws upon comparative case
studies and the latest research on criminal justice policy in Latin
America to situate Paraguay's experience in a broader regional
context and to offer recommendations to guide future
policymaking.
