Summary
Case studies of organised crime show that the illegitimate and legitimate environment intermingle. Although these interfaces are a threat to the legitimate world they also offer opportunities for prevention. The message is simple: if criminal organisations are able to easily acquire or access resources, then the number of these resources should be reduced or made more difficult to acquire or access. This study identifies opportunities that facilitate organised crime and presents measures to prevent them.
