The National Council for Crime Prevention
The National Council for Crime Prevention (Brottsförebyggande rådet, BRÅ) is an agency under the Swedish Ministry of Justice. Our principal task is to encourage crime prevention measures through evaluation, research, development and information activities within the field of criminal policy. The Council is also responsible for the official Swedish judicial statistics.
Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology
The purpose of the Council is to further criminological research within the member countries and advise the Scandinavian governments and the Council on issues related to criminology. The Council awards research and travel grants, arranges seminars, and publishes a journal in English. The Council also publishes reports from its seminars and a newsletter three times per year in Scandinavian languages (paper and on-line availability).
