Given the ongoing concern expressed by the media and the general public, it is perhaps useful to look beyond the Australian context and consider experiences from Scandinavian states that share a history of violent conflict between competing OMCGs. This paper offers insight into Scandinavian experiences and efforts to prevent recruitment to OMCGs and encourage dissociation and desistance, with examples of cross-departmental approaches that seek to unite both disruptive and rehabilitative responses. Both local and national responses are described. The aim is to demonstrate the coexistence of various Scandinavian approaches targeting OMCGs which rest on penal, administrative and civil powers.
