In line with its
strategic objectives and as a step towards enhanced knowledge of thematic and cross-sectoral trends in crime statistics, UNODC has conducted a process of
annotation of responses received with extended metadata for selected variables in the Tenth CTS.
Annotated statistics are available for:
Intentional homicide, completed
Intentional homicide, completed with firearm
Total recorded offences at the national level
UNODC will make further variables available in this format during the course of 2009.
(Non-annotated) values and rates per 100,000 total population for all CTS variables, reproduced as received, by country are also available upon free user registration
here.

The process of annotation with extended UNODC metadata is described in full in the methodological description accompanying the annotated data. In brief, the process involved: |
|
||||
|
|
Checks for consistency of data with responses provided to previous CTS waves | ||||
|
|
Checks for internal consistency of data within responses provided to different questions of the Tenth CTS | ||||
|
|
Checks for consistency of data with other known crime statistics sources (where available) | ||||
Annotation of CTS data was carried out by UNODC staff together with persons external to UNODC. UNODC gratefully acknowledges assistance provided by Roy Walmsley of the International Centre for Prison Studies, King's College (London) and Dr Stefan Harrendorf, Universität Göttingen.
