This study examines the nature and community-level impact of organised crime groups known to the police in three deprived, high-crime neighbourhoods in which a wide range of organised crime was evident. By doing so, we were able to identify how the groups in these areas were structured, who was involved and how they operated. A number of key group features emerged. We describe these features to provide insight into the workings of locally based organised crime groups and discuss the implications for how local practitioners tackle these offenders, disrupt their operation and protect local communities from the corrosive impact of organised crime.

打击当地有组织犯罪团伙：英国两个城市的研究经验教训

本研究调查了警方已知的有组织犯罪集团在三个贫困、犯罪率高的社区的性质和社区层面的影响，在这些社区中，有组织犯罪的范围很广。通过这样做，我们能够确定这些领域的小组是如何构建的，谁参与了以及他们如何运作。出现了一些关键的群体特征。我们描述了这些特征，以深入了解当地有组织犯罪集团的运作方式，并讨论当地从业者如何对付这些罪犯、扰乱他们的运作以及保护当地社区免受有组织犯罪的腐蚀性影响的影响。
