As part of the criminal justice sector institutions, the Ministry of Home Affairs [MoHA], Maldives Police Service [MPS], Prosecutor General’s Office [PGO], and the Department of Judicial Administration [DJA] are all working on databases to publish data and statistics. The Ministry of Home Affairs does not have a separate dedicated website, but has a page on Gov.mv, which provides links to the three major offices of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Maldives Police Service, Department of Juvenile Justice and Maldives Correctional Service.
Courts publish information on the number and types of cases reported, and distribution of cases at various courts and at various tiers of the courts. Lethun Database of the Prosecutor General’s Office has criminal justice data and Maldives Police Service publishes data on the types of cases with the reported numbers. Institutions in the criminal justice system do not use the same terminology to define offences such as domestic violence, because of which there are issues with consistency of the information appearing on multiple State websites.
No institutions periodically publish analytical data.
