United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime – University Module Series

Through the Education for Justice (E4J) initiative, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has developed a series of university modules and other tools to assist academics teaching on some of today’s most crucial threats. Specifically, E4J aims to support tertiary level educators and academics in their efforts to transmit knowledge and create a deeper understanding of rule of law related issues, with a focus on the subject areas of crime prevention and criminal justice, anti-corruption, organized crime, trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants, firearms, cybercrime, wildlife, forest and fisheries crime, counter-terrorism as well as integrity and ethics.

More than 600 academics and national experts from more than 550 universities and 114 countries contributed to the development of the university module series and participated in related activities. The university modules are designed for use as a stand-alone teaching resources, or as a means of enhancing existing courses in criminology, law, political science, international relations, business, sociology, and many other disciplines.

Open source and available for free, we invite academics to use the E4J materials, provide us with feedback and link up to our E4J network to find out how the UN and academia can work together closer. Let’s join forces in shaping tomorrow’s leaders and empowering the future generation to tackle the most pressing global crime problems.
