Glossary and abbreviations Glossary of Terms Amphetamines A general term for the amphetamine-based group of drugs including methylamphetamine, ecstasy and crystal methamphetamines (‘ice’). Illicit use and availability of this group of drugs has increased significantly in Australia and overseas. Authorisation The ACC Board may authorise the ACC to undertake intelligence operations or to investigate offences which constitute serious and organised crime. Card skimming Copying the data from the magnetic strip of a credit or debit card using a card reading device. The identity data may be used to create counterfeit credit or debit cards or to commit other forms of fraud with the stolen identity details. Criminal intelligence systems Information technology based systems which facilitate dissemination and sharing of criminal intelligence, including databases containing intelligence holdings which can be interrogated by users. Criminal networks Fluid entrepreneurial-type networks with a core group or key individuals whose activity may be localised, across Australia or extend overseas. Desk An intelligence analyst group which focuses on a specific area, (for example, illicit drugs or organised crime). Each Desk has a presence on ALEIN, part of the ACC’s national criminal intelligence system. Determination When authorising the ACC to undertake an intelligence operation or an investigation, the ACC Board can determine that the ACC can use its special powers. Before issuing a Determination, the ACC Board must consider whether normal intelligence collection methods or ordinary police methods of investigation are likely to be effective. 160 I ACC ANNUAL REPORT 2003–04
Examinations ACC Examiners can summons a person to attend a compulsory examination and answer questions under oath. The person is entitled to legal representation and the examination is held in private. The evidence gained from an examination cannot be used against the person in a criminal proceeding. A person summonsed to an examination cannot disclose that summons to any person other than their legal representative. Examiners Examiners are independent statutory officers and experienced legal practitioners who may exercise the ACC’s special powers under a Determination issued by the ACC Board. Federally relevant criminal activity Serious and organised crime which is an offence against a law of the Commonwealth or a territory or serious and organised crime which is an offence against a law of a state and has a federal aspect. A state offence can have a federal aspect if it potentially falls within Commonwealth legislative power or where the ACC’s interest in the state offence is incidental to ACC operations/investigations relating to Commonwealth or territory offences. Intelligence operation An intelligence operation involves the collection, correlation, analysis or dissemination of criminal information and intelligence relating to federally relevant criminal activity. National Criminal Intelligence Priorities At the strategic level, the ACC Board establishes NCIPs. They provide a comprehensive ranked summary of known national criminal threats affecting Australia and a basis for considering resource allocation and operational deployments. The NCIP promote effective law enforcement agency planning and responses. Serious and organised crime Serious and organised crime means an offence that involves two or more offenders and substantial planning and organisation, the use of sophisticated methods and techniques, is committed in conjunction with other offences of a like kind and is punishable by imprisonment for at least three years.
