State of Play Policy Report 02

The State of Play (SoP) Fight Crime and Terrorism (FCT) Policy Report, developed under the ENACT (European Network Against Crime and Terrorism) project, serves as a crucial resource for informing and guiding European Commission (EC) services by the latest relevant data on the evolving landscape of crime and terrorism. Designed as a policy support tool, the report aims to strategically support and shape FCT policy and Research & Innovation (R&I) programming by providing a condensed and focused overview of recent developments, key insights, and actionable recommendations from various ENACT activities from September 2024 to July 2025. By integrating findings from multiple sources and events, this report offers a holistic view of the current state of play in combating crime and terrorism within the EU context based on robust and up-to-date analysis. Also, the report’s primary purpose is to consolidate critical findings and policy recommendations derived from ENACT’s outputs over the preceding cycle, notably Flash and Analytical Reports. Furthermore, it compiles and summarises the analytical support and outcomes from various high-level discussions, including CERIS FCT workshops, expert group meetings, Project2Policy events, and the Security Research Event (SRE). 

As the FCT landscape evolves, future ENACT SoP FCT Policy Reports will continue to adapt their content according to the trends, ensuring that they remain a vital resource for the EC, committed to providing timely and relevant policy support tailored to the dynamic challenges of crime and terrorism.
