The International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) was developed using the "Principles and framework for an international classification of crimes for statistical purposes" produced by the UNECE-UNODC Joint Task Force on Crime Classification and endorsed by the Conference of European Statisticians in 2012. The ICCS was produced on the basis of the plan to finalize by 2015 an international classification of crime for statistical purposes, as approved by the Statistical Commission in its decision 44/110 and by the Economic and Social Council in its resolution 2013/37.

Gratitude is expressed to all Member States, international organizations and individual experts who contributed to the development of the ICCS. The continuous support of the UNODC-INEGI Center of Excellence on Statistics on Governance, Public Safety, Victimization and Justice is gratefully acknowledged, as is the contribution of Steven Malby who developed the initial concept of the classification. UNODC would also like to thank the United Nations Statistics Division and the members of its Expert Group on International Statistical Classifications for their valuable comments and contributions during the peer-review process.
