A New International Approach to Beating Serious and Organised Crime

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Sep 16, 2025 | Tony Blair Institute for Global Change

This paper by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change highlights the need for a bolder, strategic and proactive set of tools beyond law enforcement to address organised crime - including sanctions, online disruption and new global mechanisms that match the transnational nature of the threat. It challenges orthodoxy and questions the institutional inertia that inhibits adoption of a fundamentally different tack: one that focuses on enablers, is rooted in disruption and built on bold, trusted partnerships. Finance, tech, logistics and data systems are being exploited daily, yet their operators remain on the sidelines, or are brought in through fragmented, ad hoc efforts. The paper proposes not incremental reform, but a fundamental rethink of how the international community responds to serious and organised crime. Not simply to cope with today’s threat landscape, but to get ahead of it. https://institute.global
