EUCPN: Toolbox nr. 11 - Prevention of pickpocketing within the EU – policies & practices

Even though some countries have to cope with rising prevalence numbers, pickpocketing as a specific crime phenomenon is often not considered as a priority within the world of criminal policy and legislation. The mobile organised crime groups (OCGs), who are deemed to be responsible for a big part of the committed pickpocketing, do get proper attention from policymakers and law enforcement agencies. Therefore in this toolbox we focus on both mobile organised crime groups in general and on pickpocketing more specifically. Another important part of the toolbox consists of recommendations for a successful approach to the prevention of pickpocketing committed by mobile OCGs. Finally, the toolbox concludes with some good practices of pickpocketing prevention measures as they were shared by the Member States with the EUPCN Secretariat.
