The Congress' declaration resolves that all member States should increase efforts to eliminate social conditions that breed crime and to collect accurate crime and justice statistics. In juvenile justice, the Congress opposes most pretrial detention and incarceration of juveniles with adults. It encourages development of juvenile justice standards and research on the causes of delinquency. The Congress condemns execution and torture of political opponents and suspected offenders and suggests further development of guidelines regarding governmental abuse of power. Other recommendations include development of alternatives to imprisonment, shorter prison sentences, development of extradition procedures, guidelines for selection and training of judges and prosecutors, and more. Several delegations warned of abuses of information systems, suggested that 'target hardening' approaches are effective deterrents, and recommended that guidelines be devised for community-based treatment of offenders. Draft proposals are outlined; a list of conference documents is appended.
