MARQUEZ ESTRADA, José Wilson. The jury of peers issue in the context of criminal justice administration in the Sovereign State of Bolivar: 1860-1880. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2012, vol.54, n.2, pp.119-132. ISSN 1794-3108.

This article analyzes the problem posed by the jury of peers ("jurado de conciencia") in the context of the administration of criminal justice in the Sovereign State of Bolivar (1860-1880) as envisioned through the reports of the general proctors, who were introduced before the Legislative Assembly and the Citizen President of the State; likewise, it examines its origin in Colombia while highlighting the role of jury justice in criminal matters and, within this context, its performance within the framework of the Sovereign State of Bolivar's criminal policy during the radical period.

Keywords : Jury of one's peers; criminal justice; administration of justice; criminal law; social control.
