This recommendation was adopted by the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice and then by ECOSOC in its resolution 2010/18 and by the Genral Assembly in its resolution 65/230.
In line with paragraph 42 of the Salvador Declaration, the comprehensive study is to examine the following topics:
