Joint Research Centre on Transnational Crime

Transcrime is a Joint Research Centre on Transnational Crime between the Università degli Studi di Trento and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan.

The Centre has two main offices: Trento and Milan. Both carry out research activities, and the administration office is concentrated in Trento. Another office has been established in Padua for the management of the Regional Observatory on Urban Security in the Veneto Region.

Transcrime is directed by Ernesto U. Savona, professor of criminology at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan. Every office has a research coordinator, a research team, a secretariat and a support staff. An electronic documentation service is available to researchers. Transcrime's funding comes from contracts with local administrations, national bodies, international corporations and the European Union.
