A result-based management framework (RBM) putting in the public interest at the centre of the actions of the judicial administration and focusing on transparency and accountability with the aim of increasing citizens’ confidence. How can this method be implemented in the administration of criminal justice? Is there a conflict with the independence of the institution and a greater accountability of justice administrations?
