This is a summary of 1998 accomplishments by the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control (HEUNI).
Abstract
Among the highlights of the year was publication of a global report on organized crime, which provided the international community for the first time an overview of recent trends in organized crime and of trends in national and international responses. HEUNI also published in 1998 an analysis of the European and North American results of the Fifth United Nations Survey on Crime Trends and Operations of Criminal Justice Systems (1990-1994). With the organization of the VI European Colloquium on Crime and Criminal Policy at the end of the year, preparations are underway for HEUNI's contribution to the Tenth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders. HEUNI also continued to pay particular attention to further promoting cooperation among the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Program, the Council of Europe, the European Union and other entities active in Europe.
