Technical Assistance, Crime Prevention, Organised Crime: Presentations at the HEUNI 25th Anniversary Symposium (January 2007) and at the Stockholm Criminology Symposium (June 2007)

Abstract

In 2007 two international symposia of a great significance to HEUNI took place: one was held on 22-23 January in Helsinki to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the establishement of the Institute on 23 December 1981. The other was the second Stockholm Criminology Symposium on 4-6 June where HEUNI, again in celebration of its 25th Anniversary, took a major role in organising many workshops comprising about 50 speakers. The present HEUNI Paper contains contributions from these events, most of them deriving from the Helsinki Symposium while the two last ones were held in Stockholm. The papers from both events deal with issues that a close to HEUNI’s current working profile and to UN priorities, such as organised crime, prisons in Eastern Europe, technical assistance, crime prevention, and UN Standards and Norms related to Crime and Criminal Justice.
