This is a unique piece of research. It is the first ever study to examine the time intervals throughout the investigation and prosecution of serious criminal offences in Ireland. The research had three broad aims, namely to: establish the typical time intervals involved in the processing of criminal cases; identify any likely causes for delays; and examine best practice in other jurisdictions.

A Crime Prevention Strategy for Ireland: Tackling the Concerns of Local Communities

File Size: 588 KB

The National Crime Council published its Consultation Paper, 'Tackling the Underlying Causes of Crime: A Partnership Approach' in October 2002 . The Consultation Paper outlined the provisional recommendations and proposals of the Council in relation to crime prevention. This followed an extensive consultation process with local communities. Interested parties were invited to make written submissions in response to the paper. The opportunity for oral commentary and discussion of the proposals was provided at an Open Forum held in February 2003.

These written and oral submissions, of which there were 90 in total, allowed the Council to develop and clarify their proposals in relation to the ideal crime prevention strategy to adopt in the Irish context. The culmination of this two year long research process and the final recommendations are presented in the Council's publication; 'A Crime Prevention Strategy for Ireland: Tackling the Concerns of Local Communities'.

The Report on Public Order Offences in Ireland was commissioned from the Institute of Criminology, Faculty of Law at University College Dublin in March, 2001. The report looks at the patterns of public order offending for a period prior to the enactment of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act in 1994 and the period since. The Council has appended a set of recommendations to the report which, we believe, can contribute to a reduction in this type of anti-social behaviour.
