This October 1994 seminar on crime control policies represented a joint venture by the Council of Europe, the Slovenian Ministry of Justice, and the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Law.
Abstract
The seminar recognized that crime control policies must set priorities with respect to penal law and approaches to dealing with crime and delinquency. The seminar considered criminalization versus decriminalization, the role of the criminal justice system and its agents, the structure of sanctions (imprisonment and community sanctions), challenges posed by the internationalization of crime, and the transition from centrally planned to market economies in Europe. The seminar focused on economic and organized crime, crime trends in Central and Eastern Europe, human rights and crime control, criminal law reform in Western Europe, and crime prevention policies in Europe.
