United Nations World Crime Surveys: Fourth Survey, 1986-1990
The Fourth United Nations Survey, covering the years
1986-1990, was designed to increase knowledge regarding the incidence
of reported crime and the structure of criminal justice systems, as a
basis for improving the international exchange of information. The
main objectives of the survey were to determine which data are
generally available in national databases and to provide an instrument
for strengthening cooperation among member states of the United Nations
by putting the review and analysis of national crime-related data in a
broader context. Variables describe combined police and
prosecution expenditure by year and by country, number of police
personnel by gender, total number of homicides by country and by city,
number of assaults, rapes, robberies, thefts, burglaries, frauds, and
embezzlements, amount of drug crime, number of people formally charged with
crime, age of suspects, number and gender of prosecutors,
number of individuals prosecuted and the types of crimes prosecuted for, gender
and age of individuals prosecuted, types of courts, number of
individuals convicted and acquitted, numbers sentenced to capital
punishment and to various other punishments, number of convictions
on various charges, number of individuals sentenced and in detention,
number of prisoners, sentence lengths, and prison demographics.
