Welcome to the website of Central Europe's major criminological research institute.

In 2010 the National Institute of Criminology (OKRI) celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of its existence. In the course of the Jubilee Commemoration Year starting in September 2009 we pay tribute to the predecessors' activity and also render an account of the current results with several programmes and publications. As the scientific, research and training agency of the Prosecution Office of the Republic of Hungary the Institute aims to conduct research on crime, to improve the theory and practice of criminology, police science and criminal law, and to contribute to the utilization of the research results.

Browsing our website you can access information on the Institute, our research fellows, researches, publications, results and data, recent events and programmes, and about our library.

In case you need further information please do not hesitate to contact our colleagues.
