It affects everyday citizens, politicians, public officials, and business owners alike. The driving force behind crime is often financial gain. The profits generated from crime are then reinvested in continued criminal activities. Criminal networks create and maintain illegal markets but also seek out and exploit vulnerabilities in various legal systems and individuals.</span><span style="font-size: 1.1875rem;"> </span></p> <h3>Crime Markets<span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></h3> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This project adopts a comprehensive perspective, exploring the diverse markets in which criminals operate. Historically, the drug market has received significant attention in criminal policy and by law enforcement agencies. Recent data shows that other markets can be just as lucrative for organized crime. For example, fraud targeting individuals, companies, and welfare systems has increased significantly. Labor market related crime and illegal waste management have also received increasing attention. The economic consequences of such crimes are far-reaching, including reduced tax revenues and unfair competition with legitimate businesses.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">To disrupt these illegal operations, targeting money laundering is paramount. By intercepting the process of converting illicit gains into legal assets, authorities can weaken the financial foundations of criminal enterprises</span><span data-contrast="auto">.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></p> <h3>Society’s Response<span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></h3> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The development requires crime prevention and law enforcement agencies to develop their tools and methods. Additional agencies are included in the work against organized crime and to stop the criminal economy. Municipalities have been given a new statutory crime prevention responsibility. The role of the business sector and civil society is also receiving increasing attention.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></p> <h3>International Lessons<span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></h3> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Given that organized crime transcends borders, international collaboration has become indispensable. Both bilateral and multilateral efforts are critical.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">The EU has adopted a number of priorities to combat serious and organized crime, such as drug trafficking, smuggling, money laundering, and cybercrime. The project will highlight examples of how the EU and its member states are addressing the increasingly well-organized criminal networks.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></p> <h3>New Knowledge<span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":228}"> </span></h3> <p><span data-contrast="auto">As society evolves, so do the patterns of crime, creating a need for new research and analysis. Researchers from different disciplines and countries will participate in the project.
