💬 What do we talk about when we talk about organized crime? The usual ways of defining organized crime are insufficient and no longer capture the complexity of this phenomenon. These concepts are useful for understanding what organized crime is ⬇️ Read more in our “Intersections” report: https://buff.ly/3XNmjNY

This is an insightful publication and should be an eye opener/ call to action! The global insurance market is projected to soar to an astounding $10 trillion USD by 2028. However, with this growth comes a pressing challenge: the rising threat of fraud and transnational organized crime. These issues pose significant risks to both the sustainability and profitability of the industry. To combat this growing menace, we must unite in a concerted effort. A formalized global strategy is essential to effectively tackle insurance fraud. The Global Insurance Fraud Summit is making strides in this critical mission, paving the way for a robust framework to fight back. But we can't do it alone! It’s imperative that regulators, public entities, and private organizations collaborate on a global scale. Together, we can build a safer, more resilient insurance landscape.

The Global Organized Crime Index 2023 paints a stark picture: criminality is on the rise, but #resilience isn't. 🇲🇲 #Myanmar, the highest-ranking country in criminality, exemplifies the challenges we face. The 2021 coup has entrenched organized crime, turning the country into a hub for industrial-scale criminal enterprises. Here, hundreds of thousands are trafficked into forced criminality, highlighting a troubling grey zone where victims and perpetrators are often one and the same. ⚖️ Building resilience against such crime demands more than just a strong criminal justice system. It requires nuanced strategies to protect those caught in the web of #organizedcrime, whether they are victims, perpetrators, or both. As we push for justice, we must also ensure that human rights are upheld, recognizing the complex realities of those involved. Read more in this recent blog: https://buff.ly/3Xer1np #OCIndex

Earlier this month, I chaired the latest meeting of DOJ's Violent Crime Reduction Committee. We heard from our US Attorneys, the Criminal Division, and DOJ law enforcement agencies about successful efforts to combat the annual summer surge in violence. And we heard from the Office of Justice Programs, the Office on Violence Against Women, and the COPS Office about their work to support local communities and law enforcement with lifesaving grants and technical assistance. All this work is making a real difference, with the impact measured in lives saved. Check out the graph linked below: across the nation, murder is down ~17% in 2024--and that's on top of hefty reductions in 2023. But we can't let up or rest on our laurels. We need to keep attacking the drivers of violent crime, through approaches like DAG Monaco's plan to address Machinegun Conversion Devices--small pieces of plastic or metal that convert regular firearms into weapons of war and turn street corners into combat zones. Working with law enforcement, community, and industry partners, we can continue to drive violent crime down while fostering trust in the communities we serve.
