In this new global age, business is booming - and so is trans-national organised crime and terrorism. From our extensive experience around tackling serious and organised crime, we are aware of the impact that globalisation has had on changing the characteristics of criminal networks.
In particular they are now far more complex, hierarchical and fast moving, often have an international reach, have a greater propensity for indiscriminate violence and have extensive penetration of their own communities. Individuals of high personal value or profile are especially attractive targets for kidnap, blackmail, extortion, robbery, assault and aggravated burglary.
While the threats to individuals are becoming increasingly apparent, your vulnerability to such threats is invariably unique, dependent on a number of personal circumstances, including profile, wealth, lifestyle and working environment. It is the relationship between the potential threats and your individual vulnerability that determines the degree of risk that you, your family, your residence etc face at any given time.
