Criminal Justice in Kazakhstan
UW Ingraham Hall 1155 Observatory Drive, Madison, Wisconsin
press release: We welcome you to the 2018 CESSI Summer Lecture Series! All lectures are free and open to the public and will be held on Thursdays at 4pm in 206 Ingraham. Join us each week for these events!
Speaker: Alexei Trochev, Associate Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Nazarbayev University
The criminal justice system in Kazakhstan is full of contradictions: Soviet-era accusatorial bias in pre-trial detention and sentencing goes hand in hand with the pro-defendant bias in closing criminal cases. Trochev will discuss recent judicial reforms, constitutional conformity, and power relationships in the law enforcement system.
