4P-approach

Among other strategies, the Government’s counter-terrorism and serious organised crime strategies advocate that counter terrorism and serious and organised crimes are tackled using the ‘4P’ approach that:

• pursues offenders through prosecution and disruption or stops terrorist attacked happening;
• prepares for crime or terrorist attacked occurring and mitigates impact;
• protects individuals, organisations and systems from the effects of crime or terrorist attack; and
• prevents people from engaging in criminal or terrorist activities.
