Field data gathered by United Nations field personnel (survey of a sample of prosecution records – conducted at a minimum in the inception and final phase of the project)
Whether prosecutors’ offices maintain apparently complete records on: (a) all cases accepted for prosecution; (b) cases dismissed; and (c) charges for each caseÂ
Measurement: Field data gathered from a sample of active prosecution files to determine whether they contain complete information on: (a) when the case was accepted for prosecution; (b) the action taken in the case; (c) the nature of the charges for each case; and (d) the date of the next appearance.
Rating: The indicator is rated using a four-point scale corresponding to the following four categories: 100% of files contain the relevant information (very good = 4); 75-99% of files contain the relevant information (good = 3); 50-74% of files contain the relevant information (poor = 2); less than 50% of files contain the relevant information (very poor = 1).
Dynamic: Direction and level of change in percentage over time.
