Measuring and Evaluating the Impact of Serious and Organized Crime Policies and Interventions

Thu, September 4, 2:30 to 3:45pm, Deree | Classrooms, DC 502

Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel

Abstract

Serious and organized crime has long been recognized as a societal problem causing serious damage to society, ranging from economic costs, health problems to the direct negative impact on victims. The negative impact of (involvement in) organized crime for individuals and society, has led many European countries to take measures to combat serious and organized crime activities and to invest millions to strengthen these efforts. Despite the increasing efforts to combat (involvement in) serious and organized crime, little is known about the impact of these policies and interventions. The aim of this thematic panel is therefore twofold. First, discussing frameworks and methods that can be used to evaluate the impact of serious and organized crime policies and interventions, and second, showing the impact of various serious and organized crime policies and interventions, such as those targeting drug trafficking organizations and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs.
