The JCP is a Judiciary of Trinidad and Tobago project which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development with fund management provided by the United Nations Development Programme. The Table consists of a hierarchical list of criminal offences and statistical codes which align with the classification structure found within the ICCS produced by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
