Organised Crime

Liz Campbell

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter describes the extent and forms of organised crime across the island of Ireland, and assesses how the two jurisdictions have responded to this form of criminality. It outlines the relevant agencies and structures in place across Ireland, and, in particular, considers the policing of organised crime in Northern Ireland’s post-conflict context and devolved political setting. Some key measures introduced by governments in both jurisdictions are examined, such as judge-only trials, presumptive sentences and a civil means of asset forfeiture. These are analysed through the lens of various criminological theories, in an effort to reveal the implicit rationale behind the states’ responses.
