Defining and Registering Criminal Offences and Measures - Oapen

Project Acknowledgments
This book has been based on the Final Report to the European Commission for
the JLS/2006/AGIS/134 project “Standards for Defining and Registering Crime
Types, Public Prosecution Service Disposals, Court Sentences and Improving
Correction Statistics”. The project would not have been possible without the generous
funding by the European Commission under the AGIS 2006 programme.
The beneficiary of the grant agreement, Jörg-Martin Jehle, and the
project partners Marcelo F. Aebi, Bruno Aubusson de Cavarlay, Gordon Barclay,
Beata Gruszczyńska, Markku Heiskanen, Vasilika Hysi, Martin Killias, Paul Smit,
and Rannveig Þorisdottir would like to express their gratitude for this funding.
The study and this publication would also not have been possible without the
work and assistance by many researchers, statisticians and officials across Europe.
The authors and editors are grateful for their invaluable contribution to this
project. Especially, we owe gratitude to our national correspondents, to the
project steering group members and the observers taking part in our meetings, the
conference and our discussions.
The questionnaire developed by the European Sourcebook group has been discussed
with and answered by the following national correspondents:
Albania: Vasilika Hysi, University of Tirana (also group member)
Armenia: Anna Margaryan, Yerevan State University
