A review of new dimensions of criminality focuses on organized crime, terrorism, hijacking, economic crimes, corruption, criminal negligence, computer crimes, female criminality, crimes committed by aliens, family violence, piracy, and street crime. The deleterious impact of crime upon developing nations is explored in both economic and psychological terms. The working paper urges that crime prevention be a component of national development planning and suggests imaginative ways to use community resources in prevention efforts. Prerequisites for implementing effective crime prevention policies are discussed, notably active involvement of the community and the media, information about other nations' crime prevention experiences, and a system of financial and nonfinancial rewards. New forms of international cooperation are described, as is the United Nations' role in crime prevention. The paper presents a framework for international cooperation at the regional and global levels and explore future trends in criminality and crime prevention. Footnotes.
