ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a behavioural science approach to the problem of organised crime. It describes the organised criminal as a crimeentrepreneur, who is essentially a risk-entrepreneur. From this perspective the chapter elaborates the potential for a behavioural science contribution to police investigations in this field. It describes the socialpsychological profiling of crime-entrepreneurs and their 'landscape', as well as the potential contribution of psychologists to the organised crime squads concerning interviewing, inner group processes, trial preparation and (self) evaluation.
