The CoE was established in 2019 to support countries in the Asia-Pacific region to improve their statistical methodologies and technical capabilities in the production, collection, analysis and dissemination of crime and criminal justice data. Particular focus is given to promoting the implementation of the International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS), implementing Crime Victimization and Corruption Surveys, increasing the availability and quality of data provided to UN-Crime Trends Survey (UN-CTS) and other global data collections, and supporting the production of data indicators required to monitor relevant Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets in the areas of crime, violence, trafficking, access to justice and the rule of law.

Although the region has diverse capacity in the fields of crime and criminal justice statistics, broadly, Member States and Associate Members do not prioritize data collection for analysis and evidence-based policymaking. The ESCAP SDG Progress Report 2021, states that SDG 16 Peace Justice and Strong Institutions, is one of the Goals that has made the least progress and has the poorest data availability.  However, the SDGs are a symptom of national governments’ inability, or unwillingness, to develop evidence-based policies for crime prevention. To improve understanding of national needs and areas for support, the CoE has undertaken research on regional capacity in 2020, analysing institutional mapping, survey implementation, ICCS progress, and UN-CTS responses to understand the crime statistics situation in the 56 Member States and Associate Members. It is against this background that the Junior Consultant will develop a report on regional crime statistics capacity as a significant publication for the CoE.
