Every year the European Crime Prevention Network draws up a work programme that defines all the activities the Network is going to complete that year, in order to promote the achievement of the strategic goals. The main focus in 2019 will be on criminal reoccurring behavior within EU priorities. The Romanian Presidency will be focusing until June on victimization of minors – online and offline. The second part of the year the EUCPN will focus on the preventing of drug related juvenile delinquency under the Finnish Presidency.
