Maltese criminology occupies a significant place in the national life of Malta. Maltese criminologists, in their role in teaching and training police, probation, and other criminal justice officials, have identifiable influence on the practice of criminal justice. Although some institutions are more reluctant than others to incorporate academic research into the planning process, there is a well-prepared core of researchers carrying out relevant research. As Malta continues to engage in research with European partners, and implements postgraduate study, it is well on the way to becoming an established center of criminology in Europe. Maltese’s historical background, forensic studies, crime and crime statistics, criminal justice, police, criminal courts, prison and probation, victim services, youth and drugs, prostitution, terrorism, tourism, and immigration are discussed in detail.
