Governance and the rule of law in road safety institutions in Pakistan: Exploring legal, social and cultural factors relating to crash involvement, enforcement, and legal processes

(2022) Governance and the rule of law in road safety institutions in Pakistan: Exploring legal, social and cultural factors relating to crash involvement, enforcement, and legal processes. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project adopted a mixed-method approach to investigate the characteristics of legal institutions of governance in Pakistan that are related to road safety and associated enforcement. Importantly, legal, social, and cultural factors are critical (but unacknowledged) barriers to governance excellence, effective traffic law enforcement, road crash investigations, and the judicial processes for dealing with offences. This research produced evidence-based recommendations to promote best practices, policies, and interventions to improve governance in road safety, and which are potentially relevant to other areas of institutional governance in Pakistan, and to countries with similar legal, cultural, social, and governance characteristics.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
