Cressida Dick, Assistant Commissioner, Specialist Crime Directorate of The Metropolitan Police was saying yesterday, in her speech at the 3rd European Serious Organised Crime Conference, that UK policing needs to do a better job of explaining the impact of organised crime on normal people. She argued that the general public does not fully understand how organised crime has an impact on their lives or how they can help combat it. Most people’s perception of serious organised crime is through glamourised TV dramas – even the press do not report on the complexities of organised crime.
