EUROPOL's Serious and Organized Crime Threat Assessment

EUROPOL's Serious and Organized Crime Threat Assessment (SOCTA) is a comprehensive report that analyzes the main criminal threats across Europe. It identifies key areas where organized crime causes significant harm, such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, cybercrime, and financial crimes. The assessment gathers intelligence from police and security agencies to help policymakers, law enforcement, and the public understand the evolving nature of these threats. Its goal is to prioritize resources and strategies to combat organized crime effectively, ultimately making Europe safer by addressing the most pressing criminal challenges.
