However, within the field of international cooperation on combating crime, agreements concluded with countries directly neighbouring with Czech Republic, which are the Federal Republic of Germany (DE), the Republic of Poland (PL), the Slovak Republic (SK) and the Republic of Austria (AT), play a key role. In terms of material scope, generally the purpose of all four police cooperation agreements with neighbouring states is to intensify cooperation on combating crime and the protection of public order. Treaties concluded with SK and PL contains a demonstrative list of types of crimes in the fight against which the contracting parties cooperate. Treaties concluded with AT and DE are lacking such list, but at the same time none of those treaties contain a provision that would limit the possibility of cooperation to specific types of crimes. When it comes to cooperation in the field of administrative offences, according

    TemaNord 2014:526 TemaNord Ved Stranden 18 DK-1061 Copenhagen K www.norden.org Trafficking in Human Beings Report from a conference on Identification of victims and criminals Trafficking in Human Beings – why we do not notice them In the Nordic countries, most of the reported cases of trafficking in human beings today concern women and girls trafficked for sexual exploitation, but experiences from Europe indicate that human trafficking has increased also in farming, household work, construction, and house building, as well as in begging, shoplifting and thefts. The conference Identification of victims and criminals – why we do not notice them on 30–31 May 2013 in Tallinn, Estonia formed the conclusion of a Nordic-Baltic-Northwest Russian cooperation project. Around 80 participants attended the two-day conference to discuss ways of identifying victims and criminals and to find answer to the question of why we do not notice victims or criminals, even though we now have available to us facts, figures, research and knowledge about human trafficking as a part of international organized crime.

  • Secondary Victimization Policies & Practices
    EUROPEAN CRIME PREVENTION NETWORK EUCPN Toolbox Series No. 7 Preventing Secondary Victimization policies & practices In the framework of the project ‘‘The development of the observatory function of the European Centre of Expertise on Crime Prevention within the EUCPN’. EUCPN Secretariat, March 2016, Brussels With financial support from the Prevention of and Fight against Crime Programme of the European Union European Commission – Directorate-General Home Affairs Preventing Secondary Victimization Policies & practices Preface The seventh toolbox in the series published by the EUCPN Secretariat focuses on the topic chosen by the Latvian presidency, namely Secondary Victimization. In recent years the Latvian police has taking huge steps in making the police officers aware of the phenomena and providing them with a guideline in how to prevent Secondary Victimization. They wanted to share the knowledge of this experience with the other Member States of the network and see if there were other good practices that they could use. The toolbox is divided into three parts: policy and legislation, a guideline of good and promising practices and examples from practices. All 3 parts of the toolbox are important however the most emphasis is put on the second part. Within this part of the toolbox, the focus is on the different steps of the justice system a victim has to go through. The EUCPN Secretariat made a ‘matrix’ which shows the different steps of the justice system. For each step in the judicial system, we have tried to formulate the most pressing needs of the victims, the EU minimal standards provided through the legislations discussed in part 1 and we have also formulated good practices gathered in the Member States.

  • EMN Ad-Hoc Query on Intra-Schengen Border Monitoring
    EMN Ad-Hoc Query on Intra-Schengen border monitoring and border control Requested by Dylano de Wilde on 4th June 2018 Border Responses from Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Sweden, United Kingdom, Norway (20 in total) Disclaimer: The following responses have been provided primarily for the purpose of information exchange among EMN NCPs in the framework of the EMN. The contributing EMN NCPs have provided, to the best of their knowledge, information that is up-to-date, objective and reliable. Note, however, that the information provided does not necessarily represent the official policy of an EMN NCPs' Member State. Background information: Over the past couple of years, the Schengen area has come to face several challenges. In particular in response to a range of terrorist attacks as well as the so-called European refugee “crisis”. Member states have used a variety of measures to enhance the monitoring of cross border mobility. These measures are not exclusively taken at the external border of the European Union, but also increasingly at the physical borders between two Schengen States. By, for instance, temporarily reintroducing border checks under Article 29 of the Schengen Border Code (SBC) or by using the possibility to carry out police or immigration checks in a region around the physical border under Article 23 SBC. In the light of one of the core principles of the European Union and the Schengen Agreement, the principle of free movement, the temporary introduction of border checks under article 29 SBC is to be seen as a last resort that can only be justified by exceptional circumstances.
