The staggering figures linked to Britain’s Criminal Economy will make many a FTSE100 company jealous, but rather than adding to the social fabric of the country and paying its fair share of the tax that sustains our society it does exactly the opposite and adds to the burden and cost both the government and individual businesses hundreds of millions of pounds to combat.
Very few businesses can ignore the potential effect of crime, some are lucky enough simply to need a good lock on the door, others employ small armies to combat it. In an increasingly technology driven world as more hi-the solutions are found so more hi-tech criminals emerge, with ever more complicated scams and schemes to defraud indiscriminately.
Alongside these more ‘modern’ criminal concerns, the ones we knew of old are as prevalent as ever and in many cases growing year on year:
- Violent crime involving guns from smuggled from Eastern Europe;
- Counterfeited and smuggled goods including alcohol and cigarettes that undermine legitimate businesses in the UK;
- Drugs that are responsible not just for the individual drug users problems, but lead to a raft of other criminal activity, unproductive employees, workplace violence and problems on licensed and unlicensed premises.
Organisations and businesses are all affected by different levels of crime and disorder and the solutions are as varied as the problems. At Beyond The Blue we have some of the solutions.
