1997 QUT Handbook

internationally, in recent years has resulted in a deepening
commitment on the part of the law enforcement agencies to
its suppression. Although not confined to the association with
illicit drugs, the so-called drug trade is a major enterprise
behind the proliferation of organised crime. Another consequence
of organised crime is the development of corruption
through the diverse levels of society. Students therefore gain
an understanding of the historical development, social perceptions
and consequences and the perceived extent of organised
crime. Students also consider the strategies employed
to combat organised crime including the extent of investigation
and/or Commissions of Inquiry documented to date.

Security. It explores functions, roles and responsibilities

tenet is that intelligence and security are support functions

nation. These concepts of security and intelligence, the essentials
of an intelligence system, and multidisciplinary factors
are applied to issues related to environment, economy
and society. The principal focus will be on issues that constitute
actual and potential threats to national security in Australia
in the 1990s, and on examination of the means available
and obstacles to support threat management.
