evidence: 91. We will intensify our response to the destabilising influence of serious and organised criminals who continue to carry out their criminal activity from prison or while under statutory probation supervision. HMPPS uses its Multi-Agency Response to Serious and Organised Crime programme to support joint working between the police, prisons, probation, and other agencies to jointly identify, prioritise and disrupt serious and organised criminal activity to protect the public and to reduce reoffending. This includes offenders that are capable of continuing criminal activity from within custody. The Ministry of Justice with HMPPS will invest an additional £11 million by 2025 to expand and enhance the Serious and Organised Crime Unit within HMPPS to better disrupt and undermine serious and organised crime offenders. [...] 136. We will bolster our international response to serious and organised crime through our joint Home Office and FCDO overseas Serious and Organised Crime Network (SOCnet), bringing together diplomatic, operational, programmatic and development work to tackle serious and organised crime and illicit finance threats in a coordinated way. SOCnet consists of regional serious and organised crime coordinators supported by UK and country-based staff in key locations, in addition to illicit finance policy leads who play a key role across the network. SOCnet coordinates responses to the threat to UK interests, including between serious and organised crime and emerging areas such as climate change. SOCnet works alongside around 80 overseas posts who contribute to Joint SOC Platforms (JSOCs) at post.
