Letting Our Communities Flourish – One Year On: A Strategy for Tackling Serious Organised Crime in Scotland

One year ago, the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce launched Scotland’s first strategy on serious organised crime. The strategy set out our four clear objectives for our work towards reducing the impact of serious organised crime in Scotland.

Those four objectives are:
* DIVERT – individuals (particularly young people) from engaging in or using the products of serious organised crime;
* DISRUPT – the activities of serious organised crime groups;
* DETER – through measures to protect communities, businesses and the public sector from serious organised crime; and
* DETECT – by boosting capacity and improving co-ordination to give serious organised criminals no place to hide.
