Survey data for the 2018 UN-CTS are currently being collected by UNODC
Following ECOSOC Resolution 2015/24 (E/RES/2015/24) and driven by recommendations agreed upon at the First Global Meeting of UN-CTS Focal Points in May 2016. UNODC has undertaken a review of the UN-CTS. Following a comprehensive round of consultation among UN-CTS Focal Points and Permanent Missions a revised data collection instrument was completed in July 2018. The UN-CTS was reviewed to bring it in line with the International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) and to enable countries to report data for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators for which UNODC is indicated as custodian agency by the United Nations Statistical Commission. This comprehensive consultation process, which also included representatives of relevant regional and international organizations, resulted in a revised UN-CTS data collection instrument and was considered a major improvement in the global data collection on crime and criminal justice by the Joint Second Meeting of UN-CTS Focal Points and ICCS Technical Advisory Group in June 2018.
The UN-CTS deals with information, primarily administrative statistics, on the main components of the criminal justice system (police, prosecution, courts and prisons). In addition, the UN-CTS collects available data from crime victimization surveys.
