This terminology bulletin, prepared in conjunction with the Eighth United Nations (UN) Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders, compiles terms found in recent UN documents on the subject.
Abstract
The bulletin includes terms from materials provided at the previous Congress, documents developed for preparatory meetings of the Eighth Congress, reports and resolutions of the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council, and reports of the Committee on Crime Prevention and Control. Where possible, the terms have been checked against authoritative monolingual reference works and legal codes. The terms were selected by the UN's Documentation, Reference, and Terminology Section, with equivalents selected in collaboration with the Translation Division. The terms, listed in alphabetical order, are in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Arabic.
