Government of Ireland 9/2/2024 News A Critical Analysis Of The Police-Prison Collaboration In Contrasting Organised Crime Groups The UK Serious and Organised Crime Strategy sets out the governmental response to the threat of organised crime. This strategy acknowledges the role played by organised crime groups inside the prison setting and, in the attempt to tackle the proliferation of OCGs behind bars, it advocates for collaboration between police and prison forces. Using data from interviews with criminal justice practitioners involved in the enforcement of the strategy at national, regional, and local levels, and documentary analysis of regulations and public papers, this article addresses the enforcement of the strategy to fight against OCGs behind the prison walls. The results show that the implementation of prison-police collaboration is facing challenges in three core areas: the definition of what constitutes a prison gang; issues in creating effective data-sharing processes; and finally, an overall reliance on informal practices. To conclude the paper raises some questions on what could be the implications and risks of this strategy in the long term, in particular in prison settings. CRIMRXIV 9/2/2024 Research article Pacifying problem places: How problem property interventions increase guardianship and reduce disorder and crime Crime is highly concentrated at places that lack capable place managers (i.e., landlords and their delegates). In response, numerous cities have instituted problem property interventions that pressure landowners to better manage properties suffering from decay, nuisance, or crime. This approach is distinctive in that it both targets a place and incentivizes those legally responsible to improve its management, yet little is known about the efficacy of such interventions. We assess the short- and long-term impacts of such interventions in Boston, Massachusetts, using matched difference-in-difference analyses. Problem property interventions reduced crime and disorder relative to comparable matched properties. They also led to property investment and landowner turnover, suggesting strengthened place management. In addition, drops in crime and disorder were observed at other properties on the same street, although not at other properties with the same owner throughout the city. This study, therefore, provides evidence that problem property interventions compel landowners to better manage the targeted property and that these effects have a diffusion of benefits on surrounding properties. The effect on place management, however, was limited to the target property and did not reliably generalize to the landowner's other holdings. This study reveals nuance in the ways that problem property interventions can benefit communities.
