The Beat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top states for profitable organised crime<\/em><\/p>\n

The World Economic Forum have released their Global Competitiveness Report 2015-2016<\/em><\/a>, revealing how organised crime reduces business competitiveness by creating disincentives for private investment and economic transactions, generating misallocation of capital and labour and creating barriers to entering markets.<\/p>\n

Data from the report has been used to list the 11 richest OECD countries with the biggest organised crime problems<\/a>. One organisation featured is the Japanese yakuza, with a recent piece on The<\/em> Economist<\/em> providing analysis on why the organisation remains technically legal in Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Walk to end human trafficking<\/em><\/p>\n

Not-for-profit organisation A21 (Abolishing Injustice in the 21st Century)<\/a> is calling for the public to join in the campaign to end human trafficking by taking part in the Walk for Freedom.<\/p>\n

Human trafficking<\/a> enables a range of other criminal and damaging activities, resulting in the bondage of around 27 million people around the world; more than Australia\u2019s population. The walk will occur in Sydney<\/a> and Lismore<\/a> on 17 October and you can register your participation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Auditing ISIS <\/em><\/p>\n

Jihadology<\/a><\/em> have released documents from ISIS\u2019 financial ministry, detailing the group\u2019s internal budgets from late 2014 to early 2015. The documents report both the incomes and expenditures for the world\u2019s richest terrorist organisation<\/a>. It appears that the lion\u2019s share of its revenue comes from \u2018confiscations,\u2019 (essentially extortion and theft) and fighters\u2019 salaries are the most significant expense, accounting for nearly half of the group\u2019s expenditure. VICE News<\/a><\/em> have covered additional highlights from the documents, including comments from the academic who obtained the documents, Aymenn Al-Tamimi. They’ve gotta pay for those theme parks<\/a> somehow…<\/p>\n

How to\/not to fight ISIS<\/em><\/p>\n

In ISIS analysis this week, a piece by Budak Kadercan from the United States Naval War College has been published over at War on the Rocks<\/em>. Kadercan\u2019s piece, How not to fight the Islamic State<\/a>, is a response to foreign policy heavyweight Joseph Nye\u2019s op-ed, How to Fight the Islamic State<\/a>, which was published last month. In particular, Kadercan argues against overemphasising the sectarian nature of the regional conflict. Reading the two pieces together is recommended for maximum thought-provocation.<\/p>\n

CT at home<\/em><\/p>\n

On the domestic front, David Wells calls for calm<\/a> over at The Interpreter<\/em> in the wake of last Friday\u2019s tragic events in Parramatta. Wells argues against the urge to make hasty changes to anti-terror laws before all the relevant information comes to light. Wells cites rapid changes to counterterrorism laws in Canada, France, UK and Tunisia as examples of overzealous responses.<\/p>\n

Checkpoint<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s border fence technology <\/em><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Israel\u2019s Defence Ministry announced<\/a> that a new security fence with high-tech sensors, capable of sending a warning to a control room every time the fence detects contact, has been completed along Israel\u2019s southern border with Gaza. This development has caught the attention of the US, where the Department of Homeland Security has shown interest in acquiring the technology<\/a> to help responders put an end to illicit activities, such as human trafficking and drug smuggling, across the US\u2019 southern border.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s border and the peace plan <\/em><\/p>\n

In the midst of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko\u2019s claims<\/a> that Russia must cede the control of Ukraine\u2019s eastern border by the end of the year\u2014even if full implementation of a February peace deal with Russia is delayed until 2016\u2014Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine said<\/a> on Tuesday they would postpone the disputed elections that threatened to derail a peace plan. The Kremlin is yet to respond.<\/p>\n

Guidelines for US immigrant detentions<\/em><\/p>\n

On Monday, US Customs and Border Protection released<\/a> a new set of standards for handling immigrant detainees. The 31-page document<\/a> describes acceptable procedures for nearly 100 situations, such as adequate food supplies, tolerable air temperature and cleanliness in detention facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
