Dr. Idania R. Rodríguez Ayuso, deputy director of the Institute of Statistics, together with Norberto Toledo, presented at the 46th Annual Research and Education Forum of the Medical Sciences Campus the most important results of the Risk Assessment Sheet study.

Among the results, it stands out that 1 in 4 women victims of domestic violence has a severe or extreme level of danger of being a victim of femicide.

The Institute participated in the public hearing on “Protecting, Managing and Preserving Digital Evidence in Criminal Cases”.

From the Institute's perspective, the regulation of digital evidence in criminal proceedings must explicitly incorporate a statistical and data governance approach that strengthens the quality, integrity, traceability and availability of the information that underpins judicial and public policy decision-making.

The Institute recognizes the relevance of the proposed issues and supports the development of a legal framework that, in addition to establishing substantive obligations, enables the generation of indicators, standardized administrative records and interoperable systems to monitor the performance of the criminal justice system in terms of digital evidence, while respecting the principles of confidentiality, protection of personal data and fundamental rights.
