The current report is the result of an innovative analysis of national responses to the Sixth United Nations Survey of Crime Trends and Operations of the Criminal Justice Systems (1995-1997). Responses to the Sixth United Nations Survey were received from most of the European region member states. Corresponding data from the United States and Canada were secured through other channels. The analysis has been carried out by an international working group. The group has, in addition to the United Nations Survey responses, had access to large amounts of other data, in particular the data emerging from the International Crime Victim Survey.
