international classification of crime for statistical purposes

Acts of forgery/counterfeiting documents, 7.2.4. This hybrid approach combines, as coequal companions, a classical listing of criminal offense categories (based on behavioral definitions, and invoking their applicability to unlawful behaviors as appropriate to account for state/local variation in underlying law) and a list of attributes (or contextual variables) to be collected about each offense or incident. Other sexual exploitation of children, 3.6. Its primary unit of classification is the act or event that constitutes a criminal offence and the description of the criminal acts is based on behaviours and not on legal provisions. At the same time, we do face practical and logical limits in deeming various socially unacceptable behaviors as “crime”—which is to say that it would be inappropriate for the classification to include behaviors or phenomena that are nowhere deemed “criminal” acts in the nation. The study of crime and deviance is a large subfield within sociology, with much attention paid to who commits which types of crimes and why. Short of missing crime types, another fault that could be raised with our suggested classification—but again a point on which we made a conscious decision—is that it does not “impose” any binding, national-level constraints or parameters. But the decisions go the opposite direction, too. Our panel’s charge (Appendix A) directly suggests some of these, including that (1) the suggested classification should not be limited to current crime statistics’ traditional focus on. Mayhem is explicitly considered aggravated assault in the UCR definitions—but, again, the Los Angeles Police Department system lacks a Crime Class Code for mayhem, leading to those (few) cases being classified as Part II “other miscellaneous crimes” (Bustamante, 2015). A short survey was conducted on ICCS-TAG Virtual Platform to assess progress of ICCS implementation in the countries. Participants in the panel’s workshop-style sessions critiqued the overinclusive nature of the current UCR definition, frustrated at the stereotypical barroom dispute that—in the mere presence of a single firearm—leads to the recording of potentially dozens of aggravated assaults—with no sense whatsoever from the data whether the firearm was actually used, how real the threat may have been, or whether any actual shooting or wounding took place. Also, it provides a brief overview of concrete organizational and technical tasks for a successful implementation of the ICCS at the national level, which should engage all crime data users and data providers. The aim of the ICCS is to provide a common ground for the production of criminal statistics around the world. developing modern statistical measures of crime in the United States. To avoid problems with mutual exclusivity of categories—in particular, confusion or overlap with our serious assault subcategory—we differ from the UNODC ICCS by striking their “attempted intentional homicide” as a subcategory under category 1. Finally, it might not be a principle of construction, but it is nonetheless important to state clearly one thing that the proposed classification is not. Now established as a permanent agency, the Census Bureau commissioned the drafting of a manual for preparing crime statistics—intended for use by the police, corrections departments, and courts alike. [However,] it is clear that if either of the foregoing definitions were adhered to, a large number of unimportant and petty offenses would be included in this class. Other acts related to democratic elections, 8.9. Carjacking/robbery of a car or vehicle, 4.1.3. Expert Meeting on International Cooperation, Ad Hoc Committee established by GA res. Not a MyNAP member yet? We do this to set a starting position, expecting that a national-level standard, cut-off value, or the like may be revisited after some period of data collection and refinement. Training Course on the Implementation of the ICCS in the Asia-Pacific Region. the course-of-conduct, repeated-acts nature of the offense and, worse, too strongly connotes the notion of stalking almost necessarily involving surreptitious physical surveillance of a victim. The International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) is a classification structure of criminal offences. Trafficking in persons for organ removal, 2.5.4. The purpose of this research paper is to provide an overview of crime reports and statistics. To be clear, though, we have made some revisions to both the base classification and to the attribute list; we will return to these differences in Section 5.2.3 after stating our suggested classification (in brief form) and attribute list. Other dangerous acts leading to injury, 2.9. Endorsed by the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) in its 46th session and by the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) in its 24th session, the ICCS classifies criminal offences based on internationally agreed concepts, … Other acts that trespass against the person, 2.13. To be clear, we argue that the ICCS provides a strong base on which to construct a modern classification of criminal offenses, which would in turn be used to develop a modern set of crime indicators for the United States. Terroristic or disruptive threats to buildings or critical infrastructure, 4.3. In this nod to current widespread usage, we also recognize the need for care with the term “reckless,” because it might be inappropriately deemed to be equal with “negligent.”. Under category 9, acts against public safety and national security, we eliminate a second-level heading suggested by the ICCS—removing acts against health and safety as a standalone category, and adding mention of occupational safety and health violations to 2.8.1’s acts that endanger health of another person. Similarly, 2.3.1 abduction of a minor is an offense in which both victim age and the victim-offender relationship combine to create such materially different offenses that separate categories seem justified, relative to just general “abduction” or illegal restraint with the accompanying attributes. The International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) is a classification structure of criminal offences. We redefine stalking for our purposes based on the language used in some state criminal codes and, in particular, the Model Stalking Code suggested and revised by the National Center for Victims of Crime (2007). illegal restraint or abduction, namely the demand for money or action in return for release of a victim) or using the more commonly understood term “carjacking” in 4.1.2 as a label rather than generic reference to robbery of a vehicle (in the presence of, and at least threatening violence toward, the operator). We take as nearly certain that fraud represents sufficiently unfamiliar measurement terrain for nationally compiled statistics that further refinement of the category is inevitable, eventually, based on what data are or are not available for collection. The ICCS was also an ideal base because of its emergence as the product of several years of expert collaboration by numerous national statistical offices and crime statistics producers—solid work that warrants consideration and adaptation, rather than starting from scratch. or juvenile justice systems would take hold. The International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes was developed by UNODC in order to overcome such challenges. Request to join the platform can be sent to: iccs@unodc.org. We acknowledge the UNODC’s role and its coordination of expert work groups to develop the ICCS, and properly give them credit for much hard work in structuring a great mass of material. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the areas of crime, violence, justice and the rule of law under UNODC mandate. Accordingly, much of what follows and which is spelled out in more detail in Appendix D is directly derived from and comports with Version 1.0 of the ICCS as promulgated by the UNODC. Shoplifting is one such example—a high-volume offense, and hence one specific offense that could dwarf the counts of other specifically included crimes under category 5.2.3 theft from business or other nonpublic organization. Modernizing Crime Statistics: Report 1: Defining and Classifying Crime assesses and makes recommendations for the development of a modern set of crime measures in the United States and the best means for obtaining them. Unlawful possession or use of weapons and explosives, 9.1.1.1 Unlawful possession or use of firearms; 9.1.1.2 Unlawful possession or use of other weapons or explosives; 9.1.1.3 Unlawful possession or use of chemical, biological, or radioactive materials; 9.1.1.4 Other acts related to possession or use of weapons and explosives, 9.1.2. Yet the second, contradictory impulse is also very strong, and derives from the specific topic matter at hand: In working with “crime,” a break from the meaning (if not the specific language) of criminal law can only be taken so far. This is called grading. With that, our suggested classification has the potential to generate pieces of the overall cybercrime puzzle—harassment can be modified and reanalyzed to detect cyberharassment or cyberbullying, and likewise cyber-related stalking, identity theft (using computer means), and others. Central to achieving that aim is relaxing strict adherence to the precise wording of state criminal or penal codes in favor of more generalizable, behavior-based definitions. When police departments have been accused of distorting crime statistics—for example, in Milwaukee (Poston, 2012b,a,d,c), Chicago (Bernstein and Isackson, 2014a,b, 2015), and most recently (at this writing) Los Angeles (Poston and Rubin, 2015)—one common cause is the blurred line on counting assaults. For at least baseline concordance with the actions for which law enforcement officers can make arrests and that the justice system can pursue charges, it would be useful for the main thrust of the classification to resemble a list of known, identifiable offenses. Register for a free account to start saving and receiving special member only perks. Other acts of slavery and exploitation, 2.5.1. All rights reserved. But just as there is no solid reason to believe that misclassification between aggravated and simple assault is purely naive, neither can the possibility of willful “cooking the books” to make headline-grabbing violent crime totals appear lower be dismissed. But cybercrime poses the added complication that even the vocabulary used to describe specific variants in such a detailed classification would almost certainly be out of date by the time it was published. The UCR program currently uses a two-sentence definition that stipulates that weaponry “usually” triggers counting as aggravated assault (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2013b:37): [Aggravated assault is] an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. • 2012: CES approved the International Crime Classification Framework (ICCF) • 2013: UN Statistical Commission and UN Crime and Criminal Justice Commission endorsed the plan to develop a full crime classification for statistical purposes • 2012-2014: three Expert Group Meetings and 2 … Obviously, there is no comparison in the relative gravity of these two types of assaults and the inclusion of both in the same class would diminish its reliability as an index of crime. I. Racketeering, and violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, 9.3.2. Conclusion. The focus on straightforward-to-define attributes enables that strategy and is meant to improve end data quality, but it does have consequences in excluding some points of information. That said, even the most cursory review of the current list of crimes covered by NIBRS (Table 2.1), by the NCVS (Box 2.4), and (particularly) by the UCR Summary Reporting System (SRS; Box 2.1) in contrast with our suggested classification suggests that the gaps in coverage/knowledge will be numerous and glaring. Operation of a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other psychoactive substances, 2.8.3. reporting standards, and the code lists used in information systems throughout the process. Type of property involved (stolen, damaged, etc.) Information from the paper report is then entered into the Los Angeles Police Department’s records management systems by records clerks, who can assign up to four Crime Class Codes to the report’s entry. Acts that endanger health of another person, 2.8.2. Serious threat through shooting or discharge of a firearm, 2.2.2. In the ICCS, category 4—using our revised title, acts of violence or threatened violence against a person that involve property—is effectively synonymous with robbery. Acts related to organized criminal groups, 9.3.1. The first corollary is that the transition away from the SRS format and content is sound and appropriate. Flexibility in building out a classification comes from negotiating what kinds of phenomena are best handled as specific, defined offenses in the classification table or left as more general offenses (but analyzed with reference to associated attribute values). We also recognize that some change in crime measurement concepts has taken place over the decades—with great difficulty—and this work should not be summarily dismissed. But it is worthy of brief mention here because there is a definitional and conceptual issue at root: the perpetual lack of concordance between state criminal codes, national (UCR). Other acts against the natural environment or against animals, 11.7. Two wide-ranging examples that we will discuss below, but that are useful to illustrate the concept here, include near-fatal shooting of another person (on one hand) and shoplifting (on the other). Other unlawful acts involving controlled drugs, psychoactive substances or precursors, 7.1.1. Participation in a terrorist group, 9.4.3. The Roadmap was discussed on the Virtual Platform and its wide-spread applicability in different national contexts was confirmed by national focal points currently working on applying the ICCS in their respective countries. Pilot the progressive implementation of an international classification of selected crimes with partners. Also, it is a formidable tool to improve quality of data on crime and criminal justice at national level and to support national efforts to monitor SDG targets in the areas of public security and safety, trafficking, corruption, and access to justice. In brief: Individual officers file paper investigative or incident reports, and are directed to “title” them with the California Penal Code offenses involved. Unlawful cultivation or production of controlled drugs, 6.3. Colloquially, the distinction between active and passive bribery is simply between offering/paying a bribe and receiving a bribe. This is called grading. Other acts against computer systems. The second type of gap in the classification—types or classes of crime that should or may be recoverable from a fully realized dataset built around the classification (attributes and all), but that are not explicitly called out in the classification’s listing—is probably best exemplified by cybercrime. The International Classification of Crimes for Statistical Purposes is a methodology based on the description of crime behavior that will improve the coherence and international comparability of crime statistics. In any event, collection of the attribute information along with the offense classification permits more detailed analysis—and future revisions could either fold specific offense-attribute combinations into the classification table or dissolve them, as judged appropriate. The relationship between these two points is driven by the assumption that the operational unit of analysis for eventual data collection will be crime incidents that may consist of more than one offenses—and we oppose the imposition of a UCR-type “Hierarchy Rule” that would try to compress a broader criminal incident into something where only one offense is permitted/collected. Moreover, our charge compels us to consider topics that are not currently in the task set of any data collection maintained by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), or perhaps any agency. These four basic principles, together and separately, raise a number of corollaries that merit separate explication. In the early part of the century, however, there were few good classifications methods. Reliance on statutory language is inflexible and not comprehensive, and it is unduly focused on limited input sources (reports from police/law enforcement or individual victims). The International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) provides a comprehensive framework for producing statistics on crime and criminal justice. But volume of incidents alone. The ICCS was endorsed by the United Nations Statistical Commission, at its 46th session in March 2015, and the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) at its 24th session in May 2015 as an international statistical standard for data collection. Moreover, the ostensibly objective attributes, such as age, race, sex, and education may incorporate some ambiguity as well: a 20-year-old single mother may not be directly comparable in important respects to a 20-year-old college student; the measurement of information on race and ethnicity, and self-identification of the same, has always been fraught with definitional peril; and sex and gender identification are beginning to raise similar concerns. You're looking at OpenBook, NAP.edu's online reading room since 1999. To support the exchange of information, sharing of experiences and discussions on ICCS between ICCS TAG members, national focal points, and experts, UNODC launched the ICCS- Technical Advisory Group (TAG) virtual platform (VP) in November 2016. Acts related to freedom of expression or control of expression, 8.3.1. Based on feedback from you, our users, we've made some improvements that make it easier than ever to read thousands of publications on our website. We also make substantive revisions to the subcategories of both. Classifying crime is but the first step—very complex in its own right, but arguably the “easy” part—in modernizing the nation’s crime statistics infrastructure. Yet facility for comparability of information on crime is certainly one of the highest—if not the highest—desire for crime statistics, not to belittle or condemn jurisdictions that are worse off crime-wise than one’s own but to be able to sort out which anti-crime approaches or interventions may work (and which may not). Sign up for email notifications and we'll let you know about new publications in your areas of interest when they're released. White-collar offenses like corruption, embezzlement, and market manipulation could finally be presented side-by-side with “street crime”; systematic collection of offenses related to the operation of the criminal justice system itself (breach of justice system authority, obstruction of justice) could yield insight into separate analyses of the functioning of the judicial branch; and damaging crimes that have heretofore been studied principally through use of limited survey data (such as harassment, stalking, and identity theft) could finally have another benchmark for comparison. Unlawful acts involving drug equipment or paraphernalia, 6.5. Other violations of public revenue and regulatory provisions, 8.5.1. Rape involving inability to express consent or nonconsent, 3.3. Other acts against public order behavioral standards, 8.2. It is not yet ready for direct implementation, and is a preparatory and partial step in that direction, but much work remains in our final report to work with this classification, suggest which categories must (and which should not) be implemented immediately, and which would be good to know about (but perhaps not immediately available or essential). In 2017, it was revised to become fully consistent with the concepts, categories, and definitions of the ICCS and to respond to emerging data needs at national and international level, including data needs deriving from the  This type of offense is reported to the UCR Program as Aggravated Assault. Wholesale distribution/trading/possession of controlled drugs, 6.4. 5.3.2.1 Unlawful interference with a computer system; 5.3.2.2 Unlawful interference with computer data, 5.3.3. The key distinction between the rigorous classification proposed in this report and the “classifications” that have come before in U.S. crime statistics is that it is intended to partition the entirety of behaviors that could be considered criminal offenses into mutually exclusive categories. View our suggested citation for this chapter. Making the UN-CTS fully aligned with the ICCS should incentivise countries to adapt their national statistics on crime and criminal justice to the language, codes, and structure of the ICCS to allow for better comparability of data across countries. As does the FFRC, we add a subcategory for fraud against businesses or establishments (including nonprofit organizations); the ICCS recognizes, The ICCS builds from other United Nations documents to define harassment as, at minimum, “improper behaviour directed at and which is offensive to a person by another person who reasonably knew the behaviour was offensive. Acts against regulations on alcohol, tobacco, or gambling. Norms, tools, templates, guidelines, etc. 74/247, International cooperation and information exchange, The Monitoring Illicit Arms Flows Initiative, Trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants, Manual for criminal justice practitioners and its annexes, Global Programme against Money Laundering, Conference of the Parties to Organized Crime Convention, Mandate of the Terrorism Prevention Branch, Organization of the Terrorism Prevention Branch, Strengthening international cooperation in criminal matters, Global Programme for Combating Wildlife and Forest Crime, International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime, Blue Heart Campaign against human trafficking, 20th anniversary of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC20), Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, Countering transnational organized crime and illicit trafficking/drug trafficking, Prevention, treatment and reintegration, and alternative development. Shortly after the Census Bureau issued its manual, the International Association of Chiefs of Police in convention adopted a resolution to create a Committee on Uniform Crime Records —to begin the process of describing what a national system of data on crimes known to the police might look like. We concur, and apply the same subcategory breaks to arson. Crime - Crime - Classification of crimes: Most legal systems divide crimes into categories for various purposes connected with the procedures of the courts, such as assigning different kinds of court to different kinds of offense. Certainly, one model for eventual collection of crime statistics is resolving the task down to relatively simple questions—a data collection instrument that could be completed with relative ease by either a law enforcement officer on the street or survey respondent, or perhaps in an automated fashion through harvesting text strings from electronic written incident reports. We use the term “attributes” to describe these data items; the UNODC’s ICCS describes them as “tags.” Thinking ahead to eventual implementation of a crime data system building from this classification, it is also reasonable to describe them based on their major function: These attributes are disaggregating variables that should allow eventual users of the crime data to zero in on substantive subsets of crime of interest (and to reclassify offenses and incidents according in different ways). The records management system, in turn, translates the Crime Class Codes into UCR categories for reporting to the California Department of Justice (and then to the FBI). Crimes Measured in the NCVS C. The Future of the NCVS. 3The audit, by the Inspector General for the Los Angeles Police Commission, also found that events that should have been counted as aggravated assault for UCR purposes were logged as other Part II offenses as well, including kidnapping or sexual assault (Bustamante, 2015:9). Acts against freedom of expression, 8.3.2. The UCR drafters observed seven “natural classes” or subcategories within their new “aggravated assault” category—including a central one that presumes good knowledge of intent (“assault with intent to kill or murder”), one laden with unclear legal terminology (“maiming, mayhem, and assault with intent to maim or commit mayhem”), and one at considerable odds with the interpersonal violence focus of the other subcategories (“willful obstruction of railroads”). International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) Published by : We do include organized crime affiliation as one of the group support/attribution attribute levels (completed on a per-offense basis), but it seemed inapt to simply designate “participation” in a group as a named offense in the hierarchy. To be sure, there are still “gaps” that can be pointed to, but the ones that come readily to the fore are not included for two basic reasons. 1In this work, Hancock (2013) summarizes and extends earlier comments on the task of classification by Hoffman and Chamie (1999). In the Los Angeles case, reanalysis of a sample of nearly 4,000 case files across the seven years 2008–2014 suggested that, in each of those years, aggravated assault had been undercounted by roughly 36 percent (3,700 cases) due to misclassification of events as simple assault (Bustamante, 2015:9).3, The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) case is illustrative of other sources of error in distinguishing assault types, raising topics we will return to in our second report as they are more the province of implementation and methodology than fundamental classification. We agree with the ICCS about grouping these two crime types under the heading (2.9, in our classification) of acts intended to induce fear or emotional distress. To ensure this flexibility, we find much to admire in attribute-based classification schemes, akin to that described in Section 4.1.2—plans that focus on the behavior/action of a criminal offense while simultaneously gathering critical contextual information that could support reanalysis (and eventual reclassification using revised standards, if need be). Rather, as an interim measure, we permit the standards that would apply in a particular reporting jurisdiction. However, the distinction between the last two subcategories is not readily clear from the ICCS’s stated definitions and legal inclusions; we think that the more general (single) subcategory “threat of a sexual nature” is an effective complement to the physical sexual assault entry, once we add a new second-level category 3.3 for sexual violations of a nonphysical nature, which would cover such behaviors as voyeurism or recording a person without consent. Likewise, reliable information about the mental health status (and history) of offenders, or the drug or alcohol involvement/usage by both offender and victim, would be greatly beneficial for policy development—but so difficult to measure precisely and objectively in a routine crime statistics collection system that we omit them. Ready to take your reading offline? One crime type of relatively long standing in U.S. crime statistics that is not well handled or delineated in the ICCS is arson. A common framework based on internationally agreed concepts, definitions, and principles to group all kinds of criminal offences into useful statistical categories already exists in the International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS).
