As part of the ILANUD and Agency for International Development (AID) project to improve the administration of criminal justice systems in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic, the report concludes that changes must be made based on reviewing each component as a separate entity, then reviewing the complete system as its own entity. Part 1 presents socio-economic, political, and general country information, including the historical evolution of the criminal justice system and citizen concerns. Part 2 describes the Honduran legal system in general, for example, the legal education system, police system, legislative system, and penal system. Part 3 deals with the actual operation of the justice system, such as the penal process and sentencing. Part 4 reviews general problems within the justice system and provides suggestions for improvement. The project concludes that based on results of a survey of the general population in which 84.4 percent responded that the Honduran justice system was bad or inadequate, there are many necessary and urgent reforms needed. Statistical charts and graphs and flowcharts as well as maps and organization charts are included
