Handbook on the cube model

A PRACTICE-ORIENTED PREVENTIVE TOOL AGAINST TERRORISM AND ORGANIZED CRIME

In this chapter we analyse how the ‘Cube Model’ responds to the challenges of contemporary prevention from a multidimensional, multidisciplinary and multi-agency perspective, according to the ‘problem-oriented policing’ model. We adopt a markedly practical and operational approach, albeit within a framework of rights and duties clearly structured on European principles. To simplify, we could say that the ‘Cube Model’ is the practical transposition of a modern vision of SCP, which knows how to combine all the applicable complex factors and which learns from the failure experiences applied to prevention, terrorism and organised crime.
