The Organised Crime and Policing research group aims to deliver high-quality and meaningful research, policy and capacity-building activities on crime, policing, and environmental and climate security, including where they intersect.
Our work seeks to stimulate dialogue and support positive change in efforts by governments, civil society and the private sector to combat organised crime, corruption, police violence and environmental harms.

Environmental Crime and Climate Security Programme
RUSI’s environmental crime and climate security programme examines the nexus between emerging environmental challenges and national and international security, against the backdrop of a warming world.
Organised Crime and Corruption Programme
Our work on organised crime and corruption explores the dynamics of illicit markets and the drivers and enablers that sustain them in order to inform effective policy responses.
Policing Programme
Our work focuses on enhancing police effectiveness in response to new and complex security threats and social challenges, and measures to improve police accountability. We also specialise in the more specific opportunities and difficulties facing policing in developing countries.
