Organised Crime in Poland in the 1980s and at the Beginning of the Transformation Period from the Perspective of Criminological Sciences. Criminological Initiatives to Prevent and Combat Organised Crime

Summary/Abstract: The article on Organised Crime in Poland in the 1980s and at the Beginning of the Transformation Period from the Perspective of Criminological Sciences. Criminological Initiatives to Prevent and Combat Organised Crime is divided into four main parts. They are: Introduction (Problems of Organised Crime in the People’s Republic of Poland), Organised crime at the beginning of the transition period and its assessment and Criminological initiatives to prevent and combat organised crime. The third part of the article is devoted to the most important scientific conference on organised crime, community-wide initiatives (Foundation Against Organised Crime), and the Advisory Team of the Defence Affairs Committee of the Council of Ministers on Contemporary Crime. In the final part of the article (Concluding remarks), the author stresses that the expertise and previous achievements of the members of the Advisory Team of the Defence Affairs Committee of the Council of Ministers (1995-1997) were allegedly taken into account in the work of the ‘Team for the Coordination of Organised Crime Surveillance Activities’ established in 1997 under the chairmanship of the Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration. Today, the initiative by the Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro deserves special recognition for establishing on 11 July 2018 the Institute of Economic and Financial Expertise in Łódź.
