Slovakia to Introduce Mandatory Crime Prevention Program Accreditation

The Slovak government is preparing legislation that would establish mandatory accreditation for crime prevention programs. Under the proposed amendment, government ministries would be required to submit regular reports on crime levels, trends and dynamics, as well as other antisocial activities, to the Government Council for Crime Prevention. The Government Council for Crime Prevention is a government advisory body that coordinates crime prevention policies across different state institutions. The measure aims to improve oversight and coordination of Slovakia's crime prevention efforts by ensuring systematic monitoring and reporting of criminal activity patterns.
