Abstract

This largely introductory chapter analyses the character of organised crime and the measures that have been adopted to disrupt its operations and minimize its impact. It attempts to trace organised crime in history and put its practices and character in context. It considers what we know and about various manifestations of organised crime today and perhaps more importantly what we are unsure of and do not know. It considers the efficacy of the criminal justice system particularly in regard to economically motivated crime and considers better strategies. In particular it stresses the importance of intelligence and the effective analysis of information about organised crime. Furthermore, it seeks to explain the limited contribution that the academy has made to the study of organised crime.
