The Australian Crime Commission (ACC) is an Australian Government national criminal intelligence and investigation agency. It was formulated under the ''Australian Crime Commission Act'' (ACC Act 2002)〔("Australian Crime Commission Act 2002" ) Australasian Legal Information Institute(AustLII)〕 which came into effect on 1 January 2003, establishing the ACC as a national statutory authority to combat serious and organised crime such as corruption, terrorism, drug trade, the narcotics industry and money laundering. The ACC reports to the Minister for Home Affairs, is an entity of the Attorney-General's Department portfolio, and is accountable to and monitored and reviewed by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the Australian Crime Commission. The Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity is tasked with preventing, detecting and investigating corruption issues which may develop at the Australian Crime Commission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Home )〕 ==History== The Commission has its origins with the April 2002 Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Leaders Summit which agreed that a new national framework was needed to meet the challenges of combating terrorism and multi-jurisdictional crime. Consequently, the amalgamation of the former National Crime Authority (NCA), the Australian Bureau of Criminal Intelligence (ABCI) and the Office of Strategic Crime Assessment (OSCA) took place and the ACC was formed. This combination, along with the then new powers granted to it in the ACC Act 2002,〔 enables the ACC to wield wide ranging jurisdictions and authority and thus to better execute its purposes, with its stated primary objective being strengthening the fight against nationally significant crime within Australia. Within the Australian Federal Police, Simon Overland lead the Implementation Team that was to form the ACC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Simon Overland: an expert on calm )〕 Mick Keelty was the inaugural Chairperson. In 2010, the authority was criticised for what some claimed was excessive spending on matters not directly related to investigating criminals. It was also criticised by Bob Bottom in 2010 and 2012 for its continuation of a decline in the number of people charged. In January 2012, important legislative changes were made implemented with the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Powers and Offences) Bill 2011. This allowed the commission to share information with the private sector to prevent crime, to detect and to collect intelligence about criminal offences. In February 2013, the ACC released a report called Organised Crime and Drugs in Sport which found widespread drug use in professional sport. It included allegations of involvement by criminal network, use of unapproved substances and the systemic use of banned drugs. The release was described by a former head of the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority as the "blackest day in Australian sport".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Crime Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
