The UN-CTS, the global data collection on crime
Enrico BisognoTeam Leader Crime Statistics
UNODC
A major undertaking
• Started in 1977, following a resolution of the General Assembly (GA Res. 3021,1972)
• Initially every 5 years, then every 3, 2 and now (since 2009) every year
• Twelve UN-CTS waves so far
Recent developments
• ECOSOC resolution 2009/25 asked UNODC to improve UN-CTS
• As a result:– Annual periodicity– Electronic format (Excel)– Annual core module + rotating modules– Collection of metadata– Improved data collection system– Enhanced data processing system– Electronic dissemination of data– Improved analysis of data
The main driver
• From a formal exercise of communication from countries to the United Nations to a sustainable gathering of usable data for further dissemination in user-friendly manner to facilitate global, regional and national analysis of crime trends and criminal justice systems operations
The contents
• Data on crime event:
– Data are collected on main conventional crimes (homicide, assault, sexual violence, rape, kidnapping, theft, vehicle theft, burglary, domestic burglary)
• Police recorded data and, since 2010, victimisation surveys
The contents (cont.)
• Data on criminal justice operations:
– Police: persons brought into formal contact– Prosecutors: persons prosecuted– Courts: persons brought before criminal courts, persons
convicted– Prisons: persons held in prisons
• Data refer to, respectively, total crime, homicide and rape
The contents (cont.)
• The modules

Improving usability and comparability
• Better metadata on collected data– From ‘Please explain’ to specific questions and drop-down
menus
• Improve crime definitions– In the CTS questionnaire– UNODC-UNECE Framework classification on crime
UNODC/UNECE work on crime classification
• An act/event-based classification of all crimes (and not on the legal provisions), on the basis of:– target of the act/event
– seriousness of the act/event
– intent of the perpetrator
– modus operandi of the act/event
– degree of completion of the act/event
Technical support to countries
• Trainings/workshops, often in collaboration with other international organizations (such as OAS)
• Development of training curricula, depository of documentation, analytical publications
