Organised and serious crime | HSC Legal Studies: News Watch

A new report Organised crime in Australia 2013 has been produced by the Australian Crime Commission and?released by the Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Justice, Jason Clare. In his media release, the Minister?sums up the report's conclusion as being that organised crime is 'more powerful, more pervasive and?more complex than ever before'. The full report is available from the Crime Commission's website.

The report was released at a conference on International Serious and Organised Crime, held in Brisbane on 30 July 2013. The keynote speech given at?the conference by the CEO of the Crime Commission is also interesting. The Crime Commission was formed 10 years ago and the CEO reflects on the differences between 10 years ago and now:

'Ten years ago we followed criminals? money to confiscate their assets. Today, we follow the money trail to discover new crime threats, pinpoint high-risk criminals, target money laundering, and identify ways to make it harder for serious and organised crime to operate in Australia.

Ten years ago, law enforcement worked in relative isolation. Today, law enforcement is focussed on working in partnerships, both nationally and internationally.

And ten years ago, Australia was unable to identify the highest threat risks to the nation?s interests. Today, the National Targeting System categorises and lists the most serious organised crime threats to Australia.'

He also identifies new areas of serious crime, the international jurisdictions that have the most effect on crime Australia and some of the less obvious effects of organised crime on society. He also? examines the effectiveness of approaches taken by the Crime Commission in tackling serious and organised crime, stressing the importance of prevention.
