As Alejandra Gómez-Céspedes and Per Stangeland establish in Part II, the official debate on organised crime in Spain is completely dominated by the debate on terrorism, one of Spain’s two most serious problems, according to the surveys of the Spanish Centre for Sociological Research. Terrorism is frequently the object of different kinds of government initiatives aimed at reducing the (already slight) political support for ETA in the Basque Country and increasing the efficacy of police and judicial bodies, thus assuring victims’ protection. These measures have also produced many legal results such as: anti-terrorism bills and acts, penal reforms, legislation on victim assistance and compensation. Institutional changes have been also brought about to improve the fight against terrorism.
