We will engage with them to ensure that our strategy is aligned with theirs, in pursuit of our common objectives. We recognise that the success of this strategy will, in part, depend upon our close working relationships with law enforcement, the criminal justice system (CJS) and other domestic and international partners. Where appropriate we will seek compensation for identified victims. We will work with Victims Liaison Units and apply to the Courts in appropriate cases to ensure that victims or intimidated witnesses are safeguarded in giving their evidence. Where there is an identifiable victim, such as a trafficked person or a child subject to online sexual exploitation we will ensure that our prosecutors adhere to the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime. Sometimes the victim is the public purse, or the public itself: for instance, in the loss of money for the provision of public services such as the NHS, schools and the police. However, these are not victimless crimes. Organised crime often has no identifiable victim. One of the CPS's priorities is the service we provide to victims. In all cases prosecutors considering whether to institute proceedings for criminal offences will apply the principles set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
It is a key aim of this strategy that Organised criminals should not benefit financially from their criminality. This strategy should be read in conjunction with the CPS Asset Recovery Strategy. The aim of this strategy is to set out how the CPS will implement the key areas of the Government's Serious and Organised Crime Strategy to bring to justice those who are engaged in Organised Crime both here and abroad, to recover their assets and to prevent them from causing serious harm in the future. The CPS strategy supports the Government's Serious and Organised Crime Strategy, published by the Home Office in October 2013, which aims "to substantially reduce the level of organised crime in this country and the level of serious crime that requires a national response". By the International Division of the CPS working with OCD and NCA worldwide to better investigate and prosecute cases at source or in transit.By the 13 CPS Areas prosecuting Organised Crime cases investigated by local Police Forces and.By the Complex Casework Units (CCU's) of the 13 CPS Areas prosecuting Organised Crime cases investigated primarily by Regional Organised Crime Units (ROCU's) and local Police Forces.By the Organised Crime Division of the CPS (OCD CPS), based in London, Birmingham and the North prosecuting Organised Crime cases directly investigated by the National Crime Agency.The strategy will be implemented and delivered in the following way: Prevent future offending by the use of Serious Organised Crime Prevention Orders and other ancillary powers.Work with our international colleagues to bring Organised Criminals to justice wherever they may be.Pursue the assets of all who profit from Organised crime, when it is proper to do so.Successfully prosecute and otherwise disrupt the criminal activities of those involved in Organised crime.The CPS Organised Crime strategy aims to: Organised Crime is therefore both a serious threat to the national security and the economic well- being of the UK. Has a corrosive impact on our communities.Costs in excess of £24 billion each year.Represents a serious threat to our national security.In December 2013 it was estimated that there were 36,000 organised criminals in 5,300 groups affecting the UK. Organised crime in this and other countries recognises neither national borders nor national interests.
Their motivation is often, but not always, financial gain.
Organised Crime is defined as planned and co-ordinated criminal behaviour and conduct by people working together on a continuing basis.
