Street-Level Implementation in Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire

This chapter draws on interviews with police officers in Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire and gendarmes in Côte d’Ivoire to show how international and domestic factors changed how the rape and domestic violence laws were enforced. It demonstrates how the greater degree of institutionalization of the specialized unit led to a deeper salience of the international women’s justice norm in Liberia. However, in both countries, there were substantial deficiencies in how laws were enforced and how the norm was implemented. This chapter explains how a lack of resources for policing, combined with the social and economic pressures that survivors face, hindered law enforcement and norm implementation.
