Summary "There is a growing recognition-in Australia and in many other countries-that organised crime groups seek to infiltrate lawful occupations and industries to support their existing illicit activities and to provide new opportunities for profit and influence. That infiltration has the potential to cause great harm to the occupation or industry that is infiltrated, and to the broader community.In a number of countries, regulatory regimes to counter this threat have been in place for some years and continue to be developed. In others, the traditional law enforcement approach still provides the dominant paradigm. There is a growing movement around the world to use regulatory regimes as a key tool for disrupting the activities of organised crime groups and preventing them from infiltrating lawful occupations and industries.The Commission's review is prophylactic: it considers ways to prevent infiltration. It is not directed at the investigation, prosecution or punishment of existing or past organised criminal activity. Further, the review is confined to lawful occupations and industries. It does not comprehend unlawful occupations or industries. "--Summary
