International statistics on crime and justice / Stefan Harrendorf, Markku Heiskanen, Steven Malby (eds.)

"The objective of this report is to show users of international crime data what they could learn from these, and provide guidance as to restrictions, pitfalls and strengths of the unique set of data that is now available thanks to the countries that have responded to the United Nations Surveys of Crime Trends and Operations of Criminal Justice Systems. The present report, prepared in partnership of HEUNI and the UNODC, for the first time pulls together global responses of the surveys." -- P. [4] of cover.
