The criminological research institute ZKFS is a unique institution in Saxony for basic and practice-oriented criminological research. In our research projects, we regularly examine the development of crime, how crime is perceived by the population and how society deals with crime. We publish our research findings in scientific journals, reports for the interested public, lectures and through social media. In this way, we make an important contribution to a fact-based public understanding of crime. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
