Administrative justice policy has shifted from a traditional concern with redress mechanisms towards a concern with administrative decision-making (decisions of an\nadministrative nature taken by public officials which affect citizens' interests). As a result, ombudsmen are now expected to do more to drive improvements in administrative\ndecision-making. The limited empirical data available present a mixed picture of the influence that ombudsmen may have in this area. A number of factors may increase\nombudsmen's influence and, while these factors require further empirical testing, they offer clues to policymakers interested in improving administrative decision-making
