Transcrime is the Joint Research Centre on Innovation and Crime of the UniversitÃÂ Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan, the Alma Mater Studiorum UniversitÃÂ di Bologna and the UniversitÃÂ degli Studi di Perugia. The Centre, directed by Professor Ernesto Ugo Savona, is based in Milan.
Transcrime is entirely funded by contracts and funding from private corporations and local, national and international public institutions. It employs an integrated approach (criminology, law, economics, statistics, sociology, forensic accounting, data science and IT) to analyse crime phenomena (organised crime, economic crime, money laundering, illegal markets, urban crime), evaluate crime prevention policies, develop risk assessment and crime prevention strategies for public (e.g. law enforcement, public entities) and private actors (e.g. banks, professionals, companies).
Transcrime is also a supporting body of the education activities provided by the UniversitàCattolica del Sacro Cuore â Milan. In particular, the Centre supports the coordination of the curriculum âÂÂCriminologyâ of the BachelorâÂÂs Degree in Sociology, the curriculum âÂÂCrime & Security Analysisâ of the MasterâÂÂs Degree in Public Policy and the International Ph.D. in Criminology.
Crime&tech is the spin-off company established in 2015 by UniversitÃÂ Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and the researchers of Transcrime. It develops and applies the research produced by Transcrime into crime prevention solutions for the public and private sector.
