CaseScreening project
The CaseScreening project is a first but major step in the development of a complex International Core Crime Knowledge Management developed by IJA-Forum. A Consortium guarantees the sustainability and state of the art design of CaseScreening. NOTE: This is the first public version of CaseScreening which demonstrate the CS-functionality. However, the data for each accused are retrieved from reliable sources, yet, data are only partly entered and need to be completed and double-checked. IJA-Forum does not take any responsibility for incorrect or missing data, or conclusions inferred from analytical results produced on the basis of the CaseScreening test data base.

CaseScreening Consortium
The current version of CaseScreening provides some basic structured information on completed international core crime cases. The next version will be prepared by a research project supervised by the CaseScreening Consortium.
This Consortium is composed of leading members of law enforcement and judicial agencies as well as academic institutions in international criminal justice and will guarantee the sustainability and state of the art design of the CaseScreening project as an integrated Internet application, providing complex information for completed international core crimes. As a first step in the development of a comprehensive International Core Crime Knowledge Management CaseScreening presents structured information in an accused based format. The data are retrieved from available indictments and judgments. Data for up to 140 Variables, operationalised from concepts related to crime characteristics, legal and procedural issues, have to be entered. In a joint endeavor the members of the consortium will develop and maintain the conceptual basis as well as collection and entry of data into the CaseScreening data base.

Current Version of CaseScreening (V.101)
The IJAF CaseScreening Project is work in progress and Version 101, as a test version, covers cases related to the situation in the former Yugoslavia; selective information for cases belonging to other situations are only entered for test purposes. The CaseScreening data base gives a comprehensive and structured overview on case related factual and judicial information, data on perpetrators, crime characteristics, victimisation, guilty plea, sentencing, and legal qualifications of crimes and modes of liability. It allows comparing individual cases within 'reference groups' of accused which can either be offered automatically based on standardised cluster procedures or they are user defined. All cases comprised by the CaseScreening Module are structured in a standardised data base relying on an analytical model which attempts to systematically measure crucial evidentiary issues regarding the characteristics of crime bases and offence characteristics, linkage and command and control issues, as well as essential offender features (see Complexity Level Model (CLM), Essential Offender Features (EOF), Related Offender Model (ROM). In the near future the standardised CaseScreening data base will be combined with a concept based search engines comprising the judgements belonging to the cases stored in the CaseScreening data base.
