1. Information on OC- State of the art
Collecting: All MS and Europol collect information on
organised crime. Nearly all information is law
enforcement information. Definitions for data collection
and data collection plans differ from MS to MS.
Analysing: Organised crime information is analysed
by all MS and Europol, but in different ways. This
makes the national reports very hybrid and the
drafting of an EU picture extremely difficult. Very few
analytical standards. Mostly traditional crime analysis
of criminals and groups. Hardly or not future oriented.
No real threat assessment. Few assessments of harm.
Comparing: National data and analysis are very
different in nature and quality – comparability?

2. Short and long term priorities
Room/need for additional data collection and analysis at EUlevel?
Development of EU-standards (is Crimorg 133 what we
want/need?)
Development of methodologies and analysis that are
future (threat) oriented
not only collection and analysis of law enforcement data (open
source, economical data…)
environmental scanning (impact changes in society on oc)
assessments of the vulnerability of legal sectors
involvement of organised crime in illegal markets

A. IRCP - Mission
›
The Institute for International Research on Criminal Policy (IRCP) was founded in 1992
as the Research Group Drug Policy, Criminal Policy and International Crime and got its final
name in 2002. It is the intention of IRCP, which is integrated in the Department of Criminal
Law and Criminology of the Faculty of Law of Ghent University, to conduct and promote
internationally relevant scientific research regarding criminal policy issues.
The field of research of IRCP focuses on three main themes: justice and home affairs in
the EU, international and comparative criminal law and criminal justice, and Belgian
criminal law and criminal justice. More in-depth, the following phenomena are studied:
drugs, organised crime and corruption, and trafficking in human beings and sexual
exploitation of children.
Typical for the scientific activity developed by IRCP is its pursuit of a synthesis of
fundamental and empirical research on the one hand, and policy proposals on the
other. The implementation of research in scientific service and consultancy is an essential
part of the group's activity.
The research activities are carried out by a coherent group of strongly motivated
researchers, reinforced with the professional contribution of external
collaborators. An ad hoc multidisciplinary team is composed for most research projects.

4. Conclusions
Need for development of methodological tools and
analysis which are more future (threat) oriented
Not only collection of data derived from law
enforcement activity
Open source
environmental scans, (legal and illegal) market
analysis (vulnerability studies and studies about
involvement)
