UNODC research constitutes the key global authority in the fields of drugs and crime, providing high-quality, essential evidence
to inform policy-making and valuable sources of knowledge in drugs and crime domains, including in the framework of the Sustainable
Development Agenda. The Thematic Programme
on Research, Trend Analysis and Forensics defines the key challenges, work priorities and quality standards, as well as
the tools and services to support policy and programme development in the framework of UNODC mandates. Research outputs that
are planned to be published in the coming months/year can be found under upcoming
publications.
