Guidelines for the Production of Statistical Data by the Prison System

Guidelines for the Production of Statistical Data by the Prison System

التنسيق *
In 2015, the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) and the United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (UN-CCPCJ) endorsed the International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS). ICCS is the international standard for defining and classifying criminal offences to produce and disseminate statistical data on crime and criminal justice. When statistics are compiled and distributed according to the comprehensive and standardized framework of ICCS, it is possible to produce higher quality statistics as well as more articulated analyses of crime trends and patterns, harmonized across the different steps of the criminal justice system and jurisdictions. Building on the process to implement ICCS at a country level and the report on crime and criminal justice statistics authored by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the National Institute of Statistics and Geography of Mexico, these guidelines aim to provide advice to the prison system on the collection, production and dissemination of high-quality statistical data that can assist in performing and continuously monitoring core functions, improve the measurement of access to justice and promote the implementation of ICCS. This document comprises specific guidance for the police, the prosecution service and the courts, and the prison system. In addition, guidance on how to develop an interoperable system of crime and criminal justice data more broadly is forthcoming.
