Principles • Exhaustiveness: include every possible manifestation of crime • Structure: grouping in homogeneous categories at different hierarchical levels • Mutual exclusiveness: every elementary manifestation of crime assigned to one and only one category • Description: every unit of the classification needs to be described in objective and detailed terms so that observable occurrences can be clearly assigned to categories • Progressive implementation: first pilot a limited number of crimes

  3. Framework • Three classification levels, based on the attributes of target, seriousness, modus operandi and policy relevance • Horizontal attribute tagsthat assign additional labels according to seriousness or policy relevance • Elementsthat further describe the action • Legal inclusions: translation of police or prosecutor records into the event-based international classification

  4. Comments • 18 countries, 3 international organizations • Support to the effort in principle and to the report in particular • No opposition • Attention drawn on potential obstacles to implementation • Specific proposals for amendment
