Résumé :
1. Introduction - Why is it necessary to develop our understanding of Organised Crime business structures?
2. Review of the Literature : The review covers published work by George Gilligan (Australia), Jay S Albanese (USA), Dwight Smith (USA); Dennis Kenney & James Finckenauer (USA); Petter Gottschalk (Sweden); Anna Cevidalli (Italy); Dick Hobbs (UK) and others. Does the literature support the notion that Organised Crime exists in a manner that can be usefully analysed in terms of business structure?
3. Conceptual Framework: Can we design a framework that is flexible enough to make sense in the modern environment of Organised Crime, yet useful enough across different jurisdictions? Can we use it to generate meaningful comparisons and opportunities for joint approaches or even a supranational approach to dealing with EU Organised Crime? What would that look like? How do we teach it and roll it out?
4. A Practical Programme: What do we want such a programme to achieve? What are the necessary building blocks and qualities of a practical programme on OCG Business Structures that can be realistically used for benefit within Law Enforcement across the EU?
5. Illustrations and Examples: What are we seeking to show with these examples? We want to emphasise the key points of weakness and to identify how these can be effectively addressed. Can we show how understanding OCGs business structures can aid better understanding? And can we suggest appropriate remedial action on the back of that understanding that will be consistent with EU law enforcement and EU social objectives re Organised Crime?
6. Feasibility of Routine Mapping and Monitoring of OCG business structures involved in money laundering activities and contribution to understanding of drugs market at EU level: What are the practical obstacles - in terms of culture, resources and politics - to getting such an approach accepted and getting it implemented across the EU? To what extent can they be overcome and how?
7. Recommendations - What do we need to do now to get this approach up and running and delivering results? What can we expect in terms of problems, difficulties, and hurdles? And what can we realistically expect to achieve in terms of successes that will make the effort to overcome those difficulties worthwhile in the context of EU and in particular EMCDDA objectives?
