ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to map some of the key shifts in law enforcement responses to organised crime, with a particular focus on the network characteristics of such developments. The first section focusses on the development of transnational approaches to addressing organised crime, including the role of international organisations as well as the expanding ‘reach’ of institutional responses to organised crime. The second section concentrates on the new ‘players’ that have emerged as part of that response such as newly integrated national criminal intelligence bodies and the cooption regulatory and revenue agencies into the core of transnational responses to organised crime. The third section focusses on some of the ‘techniques’ used by law enforcement agencies in an effort to prevent and disrupt organised crime, including the legislative responses to the financing of organised crime and fusion centres.
