...It says: "Unless concerted action is taken against criminal security and taxi companies they will continue to expand, eventually dominating the market and making it almost impossible for legitimate companies to operate or new companies to establish themselves. 'One of the consequences of targeting the organised crime groups behind criminal security and taxi companies is that instances of violence, intimidation and criminal damage are likely to rise in the short term, before positive effects are seen. 'Nevertheless, if we are to impact on organised crime, we have to employ new and lawfully audacious tactics. To use an analogy, major surgery will leave scars, but it is necessary otherwise the cancer of the criminal security and taxi industry will get worse.' Graeme Pearson, the former head of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency who now runs Glasgow University's Institute for the StudyStudy of Serious Organised Crime, yesterday called for new legal tools to tackle career criminals. He said: 'No doubt there will be significant challenges. There will be those who defend the sanctity of Scottish criminal law as it stands. The reality is that too many organised crime figures use the law as it is now to protect their criminal life styles.' He fears Scotland could end up like Mexico and Italy, where organised crime has become part of the social fabric."
