NSfK’s 40. forskerseminar, Espoo, Finland 1998 St. Petersburg, being one of the largest cities in Europe, provides a large market for drugs and is not unimportant in the framework of Russia or of Europe, either. <strong>Organised</strong> crime in St.Petersburg, as elsewhere in Russia, is not just business without influence on legislation and policy. If laws are unrealistic, “legislation” of an illegal character will define a line of behaviour and norms, on which society lives. Policies of prohibition and punishment never bring good results. 56
Andri Ahven, Expert for the Estonian Police Board Information and Comunications Department Police Board Pagari 1, EE-0100 Tallin e-mail: andri@sisemin.gov.ee e-mail: andri.ahven@mail.ee NSfK’s 40. forskerseminar, Espoo, Finland 1998 <strong>Crime</strong> Trends in Estonia General overview The number of police-recorded crimes has increased during the late 1980s and early 1990s in all the Baltic countries. Since 1992, the crime rate has stayed at a relatively high level, mainly due to a large number of property crimes. In Estonia, 280 crimes per 10 000 inhabitants were recorded by the police in 1997, which is the highest level since 1992. The respective figure was 147 in Latvia and 205 in Lithuania. (These figures are not entirely comparable due to differences in criminal law and registration practice. In the case of Latvia, the decrease in 1994 is to some extent explained by changes in the criminal law.) Figure 1. Total number of police recorded offences against the Criminal Code Per 10 000 of population 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 Estonia Lithuania Latvia 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 In Estonia, 82% of the crimes recorded by the police in 1997 were crimes against property, 10% were cases of hooliganism, 3% were crimes against persons (homicide, assault, rape, etc). The other types of crime were less represented. Domestic burglaries constituted 16% and thefts from cars 15% of all recorded crimes. According to the police the most common stolen objects were audio and video systems, clothes, jewellery and car parts. 57
