Organized crime and criminal intelligence in Australia

Organizirani kriminal je prefinjen, odporen, zelo razvejan in razširjen, saj je njegov glavni motiv finančni dobiček. Transnacionalni organizirani kriminal na več načinov vpliva na Avstralijo. Glavne grožnje v Avstraliji so kibernetski kriminal, finančni kriminal, korupcija javnih uslužbencev, pranje denarja, nasilje, trgovina z drogo, trgovina z ljudmi in trgovina z orožjem. Organizirani kriminal vse pogosteje uporablja logistično načrtovanje in agresivno trženje, kupuje strokovno znanje in specialne moderatorje ter vlaga v raziskave in razvoj strategije z namenom zmanjšanja tveganja. Zaradi organiziranega kriminala sta se razvili obveščevalna in kriminalistično-obveščevalna dejavnost, ki se med seboj zelo malo razlikujeta. Vloga kriminalistično-obveščevalne dejavnosti vključuje zmanjševanje resnih groženj organiziranega kriminala, ki najbolj škoduje skupnosti in nacionalnemu interesu. Vizija kriminalistično-obveščevalne dejavnosti je varnejša Avstralija, ki bi bila poleg tega bolj povezana, informirana in sposobna na odzivanje na kriminal. V magistrski nalogi smo obravnavali organizirani kriminal in kriminalistično-obveščevalno dejavnost v Avstraliji. Za potrebe pisanja magistrskega dela smo analizirali sekundarne vire, ki zajemajo glavne značilnosti s področja organiziranega kriminala in kriminalistično-obveščevalne dejavnosti. Osredotočili smo se na zgodovinski razvoj, vrste in skupine organizirane kriminalitete v Avstraliji. Prav tako smo podrobneje predstavili kriminalistično-obveščevalno dejavnost v Avstraliji in njene mednarodne partnerje. Ugotovili smo, da organizirana kriminaliteta negativno vpliva na varnost celotne družbe, prav tako pa povzroča družbeno in gospodarsko škodo. Avstralska komisija za kriminalistično-obveščevalno dejavnost vsako leto ocenjuje škodo, ki jo povzroči organizirani kriminal, ki Avstralijo stane več milijard dolarjev letno.Organized crime is sophisticated, resilient, highly diversified, and widespread, for its principal motive is financial gain. Transnational organized crime affects Australia in various ways. The main threats in Australia are cybercrime, financial crime, corruption in civil administration, money laundering, violence, as well as drug, human, and arms trafficking. Organized crime is more and more frequently using logistical planning and aggressive marketing, purchasing expertise and specific moderators, as well as investing in research and strategy development, aiming to reduce potential risks. Due to organized crime, both the Intelligence and Criminal Intelligence Activity were founded which differ very little from one another. The role of Criminal Intelligence Activity involves reducing serious threats of organized crime, which is most detrimental to the community itself and the national interest. The purpose of Criminal Intelligence Activity is a safer Australia, which would also be more connected, informed and able to respond to crime. In the master\u27s thesis, we dealt with organized crime and Criminal Intelligence Activity in Australia. To write the master\u27s thesis, we analyzed secondary sources, which encompass the main characteristics in the field of organized crime and criminal intelligence activities. We focused on the historical development, types and groups of organized crime in Australia. We also presented the Criminal Intelligence Activity in Australia and its international partners in more detail. We found that organized crime affects the security of society as a whole in a negative way, also causing social and economic damage. Each year, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission assesses the damage caused by organized crime, which costs Australia billions of dollars on a yearly basis
