Event Overview

Organised crime remains a significant concern globally, with recent events highlighting its multifaceted nature. In Honduras, a government crackdown on organised crime has been met with extreme violence, including attacks that killed at least 25 people, six of whom were police officers. This demonstrates the potent challenge authorities face in combating entrenched criminal networks. Concurrently, a report by the NSW Crime Commission in Australia has revealed the increasing use of secret GPS tracking devices by domestic violence offenders and organised crime groups. This development underscores how technology is being exploited to facilitate criminal activities, including stalking and potentially more serious offenses. The ongoing relevance of organised crime lies in its persistent threat to public safety, its adaptability in exploiting new technologies, and the substantial resources required by governments to disrupt its operations and mitigate its impact on society.
