Contact Introduction to the Centre for International Crime Prevention OVERVIEW Crime is increasing in scope, intensity and sophistication. It threatens the safety of citizens around the world and hampers countries in their social, economic and cultural development. Globalization has provided the environment for a growing internationalization of criminal activities. Multinational criminal syndicates have significantly broadened the range of their operations from drug and arms trafficking to money laundering. Traffickers move as many as 4 million illegal migrants each year generating gross earnings of between 5 and 7 billion US dollars. The detrimental effects of corruption on economies worldwide have been mounting. A corrupt country is likely to achieve aggregate investment levels of almost 5 percent less than a relatively uncorrupt country and to lose about half a percentage point of gross domestic product growth per year. Member States have recognized that they can only counter international crime successfully, if they cooperate. The Vienna-based UN Centre for International Crime Prevention is collaborating with Member States to strengthen the rule of law, to promote stable and viable criminal justice systems in post-conflict societies, and to combat the growing threat of transnational organized crime.

Policy Initiatives Kindling Project : Attorney General Whitehouse established the Kindling Project in August 2000. The program, which initially covered a nine-block area in South Providence, now services the South Providence, Elmwood, West Elmwood and West Broadway neighborhoods in the City of Providence. Working out of offices located at the Elmwood Community Center and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association; two prosecutors, a nuisance abatement attorney, a crime prevention specialist, volunteer support staff and Providence Police officers reach out to area residents and develop programs designed to improve the quality of life and reduce crime in their communities. Through the use of crime tracking, aggressive prosecution, community outreach and the innovative application of nuisance law to problem properties, the Department has made substantial progress in the creation of safer and better neighborhoods on the south and west sides of the City. During this last year, the Department assisted the Elmwood Community Center in obtaining a $40,000 grant from the Justice Commission to support youth programs, which will fund an increased number of programs for young people. The Kindling Project together with the Community Center and other neighborhood groups, sponsored a non-violence march, a youth summit, a bilingual little league, and employment programs for teens and young adults. We also published a Kindling newsletter which was distributed throughout the South Side area.

Dr. med. G. Fantacci, FMH (Swiss Medical Association) for general medicine, President of AIDS Information Switzerland, Zurich, October 1999. Introduction The Drug Situation in Switzerland Figure 1: Number of drug deaths in Switzerland (figures on right), and in Zurich and Bern (figures on left) (3) The number of drug deaths is merely the most acute consequence of illegal drug use and gives but a limited impression of the extent of the drug scene in Switzerland. By comparison with the 1980s the number of drug deaths is stable at a high level. Prosecutions under the narcotics legislation are increasing from year to year, suggesting continued growth in the traffic in drugs, particularly as in recent years enforcement has become less energetic, and varies in stringency from canton to canton. There has been an appreciable rise in prosecutions since the toleration of open drug scenes. Figure 2: Prosecutions for offences against the narcotics legislation (4) The scale of the drug scene in Switzerland is also evident from seizures of cannabis, cocaine and heroin. Seizures of cannabis products: Switzerland and Europe compared Since 1997 Switzerland has become self-sufficient in cannabis. According to the Federal Office for Policing, Switzerland now has the largest areas under hemp cultivation in Europe. In 1998 the export of hemp seed and plants began, as did that of illegal Swiss cannabis products. Outlets are a total of 135 hemp shops throughout Switzerland selling the substance in the form of so-called "aroma pillows". Switzerland is fast catching up on the Netherlands as a drug-exporting nation.

Statement by Mr. Bhuvanesh Chaturvedi on October 13, 1998 in the 3rd Committee, 53rd Session of the UN General Assembly, New York Thank you, Mr. Chairman, We would like to begin by thanking the Secretary General for the reports under the agenda items dealing with 'Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice' and 'International Drug Control', and the Under Secretary General and Executive Director of the Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, Mr. Pino Arlacchi, for his encouraging introductory statement highlighting positive trends in the fight against illicit drugs and organized crime. Perhaps the most significant development in regard to the world drug problem has been the success of 20th Special Session of the UN General Assembly to Counter Together the World Drug Problem. The unanimous endorsement of the documents at a high political level signifies a new international consensus and will to act against the menace of drugs based on the principles of shared responsibility and a balanced and integrated approach to the problem of drugs on the way to reaching the objective of drastically reducing the trafficking, abuse and production of illegal drugs by 2008. Equally important are the new commitments relating to money laundering, amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS)

Operation Pipe Dreams Feb 2003 Operations Pipe Dreams And Headhunter Put Illegal Drug Paraphernalia Sellers Out Of BusinessNational Sweep Shuts Down Retailers, Distributors and Internet Sites. WASHINGTON, DC Attorney General John Ashcroft and Acting DEA Administrator John B. Brown, III today announced the indictment of 50 individuals on charges of trafficking in illegal drug paraphernalia. The charges are the culmination of two nationwide investigations code-named Operation Pipe Dreams and Operation Headhunter and include indictments against national distributors of drug paraphernalia and businesses nationwide. DEA offices in Boise, Idaho; Des Moines, Iowa; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Dallas and Tyler, Texas were involved in these investigations. "With the advent of the Internet, the illegal drug paraphernalia industry has exploded," Ashcroft said. "The drug paraphernalia business is now accessible in anyone's home with a computer and Internet access. And in homes across America we know that children and young adults are the fastest growing Internet users. Quite simply, the illegal drug paraphernalia industry has invaded the homes of families across the country without their knowledge. This illegal billion-dollar industry will no longer be ignored by law enforcement. Today, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, under the leadership of Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson and Associate Deputy Attorney General Karen Tandy, has taken decisive steps to dismantle the illegal drug paraphernalia industry by attacking their physical, financial and Internet infrastructures."

Weintraub Miami Springs City Attorney 2250 Southwest 3rd Avenue, 5th Floor Miami, Florida 33129 Attention: Ms. Jan K. Seiden Assistant City Attorney Dear Mr. Weintraub: You have asked for my opinion on substantially the following question: Is the City of Miami Springs authorized to use contraband forfeiture trust funds available pursuant to section 932.7055(4), Florida Statutes, to fund a portion of the city's new recreation building/gymnasium, which will be utilized and occupied by the city police department for a satellite community police office? In sum: While individual police initiatives and programs may fall within the scope of those purposes authorized by section 932.7055(4), Florida Statutes, the actual development and construction of a satellite community police office would appear to meet the "normal operating needs of the law enforcement agency" and therefore the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act would prohibit the use of contraband forfeiture trust funds for such a purpose. According to your letter, the City of Miami Springs is building a new recreation building/gymnasium. The police department will utilize a portion of this facility for a community police office. You have asked whether contraband forfeiture trust funds may be used for a proportionate share of the required funding for development and construction of this facility. Your letter indicates that the community police office will foster local community involvement in police activities and programs, youth related projects, leagues, education, and informational and outreach meetings for citizens and local civic organizations.

Back to Policing and Law Enforcement Aboriginal Policing Crime Prevention Canada-U.S. ... A-Z index Drug Strategy Countering substance - Activities of the Solicitor General Portfolio Substance abuse affects all Canadians The harm suffered by Canadians as a result of the abuse of alcohol and other drugs is evident everywhere. Illness and death are caused by overdoses. Families are left dysfunctional or destroyed. Court systems and prisons are burdened with drug traffickers and those who commit crimes to fund their addictions. Innocent people are maimed or killed by impaired drivers. There are also other, less visible, consequences of substance abuse. Alcoholism and drug addiction place additional strains on Canada's health care and social service systems. Policing and prison costs have to be borne by taxpayers. The movement of drugs across Canada's borders threatens border security and stresses Canada's relationships with other countries. Control of the drug trade by organized crime generates huge profits that are used to finance other illegal activities or that are laundered and invested in legitimate businesses. Because substance abuse is such a pervasive and multi-faceted problem, efforts to counter it are undertaken by governments at all levels as well as health care professionals, social workers, non-governmental organizations, volunteers, teachers, and employers.

Site Map Refugee Programs Branch My CA This Site Refugee Crime Prevention In many refugee communities, crime and victimization can occur when refugees' cultures and traditions clash with United States laws. Misunderstanding on the part of the refugees about this country's laws and the role of law enforcement may lead to unintentional crimes or unwillingness to cooperate with the police. Misunderstandings on the part of law enforcement about refugee cultures can further the gap between refugees and police, and prevent refugees from learning about vital services available to them. It is therefore important that a refugee's first interaction with law enforcement be a positive experience. The Refugee Programs Branch (RPB) is developing strong partnerships with law enforcement agencies to address issues of crime and victimization in refugee communities. This is being accomplished through the sharing of linguistically and culturally appropriate written materials and this web page.

80. Report: Justice Failed To Spend Prevention Money less on drug and violence prevention programs than it The report by Inspector GeneralGlenn Fine generally, and the drug enforcement Administration specifically http://www.jointogether.org/sa/news/funding/reader/0,1854,556583,00.html

Demand Treatment Get Involved Legislative Action Center State Action Center ... Funding News Funding News Report: Justice Failed to Spend Prevention Money Email Print Subscribe Discuss The U.S. Justice Department spent far less on drug and violence prevention programs than it reported to the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), according to a new report from the department's Inspector General. The Washington Times reported Feb. 8 that Justice told ONDCP that it spent $336 million on demand-reduction activities in FY2001, but actually only spent about $163 million. The department included spending under 19 programs, but the Inspector General determined that 10 of those projects were not really demand-reduction programs. The report by Inspector General Glenn Fine faulted the Justice Department generally, and the Drug Enforcement Administration specifically, for not devoting more attention to demand-reduction efforts. "Despite significant increases in the federal drug-control budget ... there appears to have been little progress toward achieving the national drug-control strategy goals and strategic objectives developed by ONDCP," wrote Fine. "It has been widely recognized that enforcement alone was not sufficient, and that federal efforts to reduce the demand for drugs were necessary." Fine noted that DEA spent just .02 percent of its $1.4 billion budget on demand reduction. "The DEA's stated objective is to run an aggressive demand-reduction program, but the percentage of its budget devoted to demand reduction is very small."
