In-person
3rd Mar 2026 to 4th Mar 2026
Serious organised acquisitive crime leaves a deep and lasting footprint across society; one measured not just in stolen goods, but in shattered lives, strained businesses, and staggering economic disruption. This conference will examine the far-reaching consequences of crimes such as burglary, vehicle theft, retail crime, freight and logistics disruption and infrastructure sabotage. We’ll explore how victims face emotional and financial trauma, businesses struggle under repeat victimisation, employees endure workplace violence, and the wider economy absorbs the impact - from inflated retail prices to stalled transport systems. With a focus on quantifying and understanding these costs, this event will bring together law enforcement, policymakers, researchers, industry partners, and community leaders to confront the scale of the problem and consider real solutions.
