Serious and organised crime (SOC) affects more UK citizens, more often, than any other national security threat. It has a daily impact on citizens, public services, businesses, institutions, national reputation and infrastructure. SOC is estimated to cost the UK economy at least L37 billion a year, with this cost increasing year on year. This figure is highly likely to be a significant underestimate, particularly in relation to areas such as fraud. 2. The financial cost of SOC does not by itself capture the harm caused to those affected. SOC can have a devastating effect as criminals target citizens to exploit and defraud in new ways. The threat is growing in both volume and complexity, impacting a broader range of victims. The dominant motivation remains financial gain, although sexual gratification is the main motivator of child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE). 3. Growing numbers of children and young adults are becoming involved in SOC. In parts of the UK, crime groups made up almost exclusively of young people have emerged, adopting business-like operating models rather than relying on identity or postcode. However, these young people still comprise a minority of total organised crime group (OCG) nominals. 4. SOC threats are increasingly interlinked, and poly-criminality remains a key feature of the SOC landscape. Many OCGs continue to be involved in multiple crime types, adapting their methods to law enforcement responses. However, some groups, including established OCGs and those involved in niche criminality, have not diversified, maintaining their established areas of expertise. 5. A number of the SOC actors and OCGs identified work together in criminal enterprises. New market entrants will integrate with existing criminal infrastructure, looking to utilise established money laundering networks and logistics providers to expand their activities.
