As always GI-TOC leads the way. The Palermo Convention is nothing without effective implementation and enforcement. This has been proven clearly in the EU by the falling short of the 2008 Eco-crime Directive in the area of organized crime and its recent revision to address the issue. Albeit, without proper anti-corruption and anti-transnational organized crime Law revision and its effective enforcement Europe will remain subjugated by corruption, criminal infiltration, and illicit trafficks, with all corresponding financial, health, and societal damages.

Kenneth F. Ferraro's "Fear of Crime: Interpreting Victimization Risk" is a groundbreaking study on how people assess their risk of crime. It combines national survey data with crime statistics to provide deep insights. Highly recommended for professionals in security and criminology.

Victim support and contact is critical. Now we know that austerity and cuts have led to direct harm to victims and a lack of criminal justice. How does the police service still reduced in numbers with ever increasing workloads manage this going forward?

We have immense contrasts in record increases and decreases in crime in two years from the US Department of Justice. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to accurately analyze crime in the US. https://lnkd.in/eipvv-Zq #crimenews #crime #violentcrime #violence #crimestatistics #police #lawenforcement #criminaljustice #crimeintheus #crimeinamerica #crimeincreases #crimedecreases #violentcrimeincreases #violentcrimedecreases #propertycrime #fbi #nationalcrimevictimizationsurvey

Secondary victimisation is where interacting with the criminal justice system causes victims harm. This is something we have seen this week, with Natasha O'Brien describing her experience in court as worse than the assault. To learn more about this concept, how it can affect victims interacting in any way (not just in court) with criminal justice, and how it can be prevented, see my article for RTE here: https://lnkd.in/eZFEAx2K

An excellent article here by Ian Marder at Maynooth University on how 'the State' can re-victimise. Speaking specifically of the criminal justice system Marder notes that "By its design, victims are an afterthought". This is particularly accurate in respect of many of our systems for, and responses to, those impacted by abuse and violence; they are often not designed with trauma in mind. The concept of 'Trauma-informed care' gets thrown about quite a bit, but at its core it is simply considering the presence of trauma in someone's life and acting accordingly - at an inter-personal level, or at the highest levels of legislative design and drafting. Great piece Ian.
