About this Talk

This panel brings together researchers and government officials from the United Kingdom and the United States to discuss their respective approaches to organised crime analysis and organised crime sensitivity, with a particular focus on how this can and should inform efforts to tackle organized crime, with presentations from the lead researchers on recent publications including: development impacts of SOC and what works in tackling SOC and Technical Guidance on the Development Response to Organized Crime. This would be followed by a discussion of how this research can, is, and should inform related policy discussions by representatives from FCDO and USAID.
