The Institute was established in 1960. The National Institute of Criminology is a research institute supervised by the Attorney General of the Republic of Hungary. In his supervisory power, the Attorney General appoints the Director of the Institute and also its scientific researchers; approves of its Organizational and Operational Rules, its annual programs and reports on the research activities; and also decides upon the annual budget of the Institute. The activities of the Institute are assisted by the Scientific Council.
The main objectives of OKRI are: support the emerging initiatives in crime prevention; and offer assistance for a legal and efficient application of law. To this end, it maintains methodological, information and documentation bases, and is also in permanent contact with all national and international organs and organizations of professional importance, as well as the representatives of scientific life. Concerning its organization, the Institute consists of four departments. The research units are the Department of Crime Research, and the Department of Criminal Law. The Department of Communication and Training and the Department of Budget and Economy facilitate the activities of the researchers and the Institute. The Institute has got a library with over 10.000 volumes. The most important magazines, however, have been subscribed since the foundation of the Institute. We have accomplished the computerisation of the catalogue of library. The Institute has had access to Internet and E-mail since October 1997. Presently, 10 of the 25 researchers (including managers) has got scientific degrees. One of them have a degree of doctor habil and 9 of them have PhD.
