The Trevi III working group on organised crime is trying to establish uniform methods of crime analysis in the EC countries. Discussions began in September 1991 and were followed by a survey among the 12 EC countries was conducted by the Dutch CRI crime analysts (who are taking the lead in Europe because of their close contacts with US state-of-the-art analysts). The Trevi group, founded in 1975, is an inter-governmental group which looks at policing questions.

At the moment, only Belgium, the UK and Holland consider crime analysis a separate discipline for dedicated personnel. The use of strategic and tactical crime analysis include: setting of priorities; allocating personnel and means; choosing criminal policing tactics and techniques; furthering new legislation, eg. in Holland making punishable certain preparatory activities.

Two expert meetings were held in Holland on March 13 and May 8. A common conceptual framework distinguishing 8 forms of analysis was agreed upon, and a number of methods and techniques were chosen to become the standard in all EC countries, in which the Dutch police will have a coordinating role. Dutch police officers are cooperating with Scotland Yard experts in the development of a specific "profile analysis".

Our work is only possible with your support.
