Finnish-Hungarian International Law Enforcement Cooperation between the Two World Wars
Finnish-Hungarian International Law Enforcement Cooperation between the Two World Wars

Summary/Abstract: As a result of the Industrial Revolution and civic development, the cultural, economic, and professional relationship between states grew steadily. These were based on common interests and historical, friendly relations. At the same time, crime has become international. One reason for this is that criminals, fearing prosecution, tried to hide in neighbouring states. The most effective action against this was international law enforcement cooperation. Collaborations began in the late 19th century when international criminal congresses were organized. As a result, international law enforcement relations between the countries have deepened, and professional relations have developed. The establishment of Hungarian-Finnish police relations was facilitated by the historical friendship between the two countries, the linguistic kinship, and the fact that, although in different ways, the police of both countries had almost similar tasks and problems.
