Title: Initial Methodology for the Crime Proofing of New or Amended Legislation at the EU Level
Journal: European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research  Volume:12  Issue:3-4  Dated:2006  Pages:221-228
Author(s): Ernesto U. Savona
Date Published: 2006
Annotation: This article develops an initial methodology for crime proofing European Union (EU) legislation against economic and organized crime.
Abstract: The author suggests that the crime proofing methodology be carried out at the country-level rather than at the EU-level, which would be more of a virtual exercise than a real crime threat assessment. The methodology involves 4 steps: (1) identification of which legislative proposals should undergo crime proofing based on an assessment of their crime risk; (2) a preliminary risk assessment of the possible crime implications of the proposal legislation; (3) if an extended crime risk assessment is requested based on the findings of step 2, a more in-depth analysis of the legislative text would be performed by experts on the proposal; and (4) evaluation of the conclusions of steps 2 and 3 and development of recommendations on how the crime risk should be addressed and the legislation proofed. A Crime Threat Index formula is developed for the purpose of assessing crime risk within proposed legislation. This formula takes into account the internal consistency of the legislative proposal, the vulnerability of the regulated market regarding the legislative proposal, and the threat posed by organized crime in the sector regulated by the legislative proposal.
