The Tenth United Nations Survey on Crime Trends and the Operations of Criminal Justice Systems (2005 - 2006)
The Survey questionnaire consists of six parts dealing with information, primarily statistical, on the main components of the criminal justice system (police, prosecution, courts and prisons). The Tenth Survey covers the period 2005 - 2006.
The questionnaire is available to download in PDF format in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Russian or as a Microsoft Word form in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish and Russian. For online data-entry and submittal via e-mail please use the English interactive questionnaire.
The questionnaire is compiled so that it can be broken down and sent to separate agencies for response and reassembled in the central responding office before it is returned. An example of possible process of responding can be found here. The deadline for the submission of the questionnaire is 31 January 2008.
In completing the tables, respondents were provided with the following suggestions:
- If figures provided in one table differ significantly from one year to the next, the discrepancy should be explained in the space for comments to the table;
- If it is not possible to provide data as classified or defined in a table, an attempt should be made to adjust the data as far as possible and to describe the steps involved in the space for comments to the table;
- If data are not yet available for the requested year, provisional data or estimates may be inserted and noted accordingly;
- Please note that it will be assumed that tables/parts of tables left blank refer to information that is not available, unless specified in the relevant space for comments;
- In most cases, the calendar year should be used as the reporting period. Where some other annual period is used, such as a fiscal year not corresponding to the calendar year, that fact should be noted;
- Statistics on such matters as criminal justice personnel, court action and the prison population should include data from all levels of government, that is, from the national, state and local authorities.
UNODC has confined itself to reproducing the figures as received on the questionnaire forms.
