Organised crime threat assessments - from an academic’s scientific but not wholly theoretical perspective
Abstract
This conference speech about OCTA and ‘threat assessment’, focuses on several important issues at European level. The author discusses several questions, like: ‘threats to whom and what and from where?’; ‘how do we really prioritise threats?’; ‘what activities are covered by an ‘assessment’?’ and analyses them case by case, focusing on key problems, not only from a theoretical point of view but also from an academic’s perspective.
The author states that there is a need for more clarification for the term ‘assessment’. Its approach leads to raising questions to be discussed both now and in the future through different methodologies and perspectives.
