▼ This research explores why young men participate in organised crime in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. From an ecological perspective, decisions are the result of a combination of factors at the macro, micro, and individual levels. The research explores factors at each of these levels, particularly the role of unfulfilled aspirations, the family and community environments, as well as different dimensions of poverty. In doing so, it uses an original survey covering a sample of 180 delinquent young men aged 12 to 29, who were in prison for organised criminal activity, and a sample of 180 non-delinquents with the same age, social background, and geographical origin in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Twenty in-depth interviews were also carried out with a sub-sample of delinquents. To my knowledge, this is the first study to use a quasi-experimental approach to understand why young men in Mexico participate in organised crime that considers their aspirations and measures multidimensional poverty amongst a population that is commonly excluded from census data.
The thesis draws on several theoretical frameworks from the fields of criminology and sociology, including anomie and attachment theories. The findings lend support to the importance of aspirations at the individual level. Opportunity constraints predict criminal participation and delinquents tend to place greater value on material items than their non-delinquent counterparts, which calls for the co-creation and management of aspirations of former delinquents and at-risk youth with the aid of counsellors.
In the family environment, being raised in a single parent household was a significant predictor of participation in organised crime. As these households are often headed by women, greater support for working mothers is pressing, as work in the assembly plants in Juárez (the prime source of employment) is not accompanied with childcare. More involved fathers who constitute positive role models are necessary to mitigate the risks of criminal participation. In the community environment, regularly spending time in a gang significantly predicted organised crime participation. Although gangs constitute a gateway, they do not unequivocally lead to organised crime. This calls for an adequate assessment of gangs, a phenomenon that is still poorly understood in Mexico.
At the macro level, the findings reveal that those who are more income deprived have a lower probability of having participated in crime, suggesting that participation reduces income poverty marginally. However, a higher proportion of delinquent participants are vulnerable due to deprivation in several social indicators and most delinquent participants are still multidimensionally poor, despite their participation in organised crime. This indicates that participating in crime does not constitute an effective or sustained pathway out of poverty, a message that should be communicated to at-risk youth. A more robust poverty and inequality reduction program accompanied by fiscal reform and higher minimum wages are also among…

▼ This research was initiated as a result of the ever-evolving sophistication of criminal syndicates in their perseverance of
organised crime and their use of electronic covert methodologies. Based on the researcher’s extensive managerial and operational experience, and on his unofficial observation of prosecutors, investigators and intelligence operatives, it became clear to him that there is a lack of evidence in court regarding serious and
organised crime prosecutions.
This can be attributed to the lack of use of investigative techniques, or investigative techniques being incorrectly used and/or a lack of knowledge regarding the use of investigative techniques. One such example of an investigative technique is surveillance or electronic surveillance.
In this research study, the use and legality of electronic surveillance as a technique in the fight against
organised crime, is discussed. Both national and international literature have been perused on the topic in question. Interviews were conducted with experienced former SAPS officers who were exposed to the use of electronic surveillance in the investigation of
organised crime, as well as interviews with prosecutors, outlining the positive attributes of, as well as the shortcomings in, the use of electronic surveillance as an investigative tool in the investigation of
organised crime.
Surveillance or electronic surveillance has been in existence for a long period of time, but its usage or “know how” has been limited to only a few. The main purpose of the research is to highlight the importance of electronic surveillance as a covert technique in the investigation of
organised crime.

Problematic
issues pertaining to racketeering offences in the prevention of
organised Crime Act 121 of 1998.

▼ Organised crime is a worldwide phenomenon, which also
affects South Africa. In
many instances
organised crime is
transnational. Consequently, South Africa had to
develop
legislation in order adequately to deal with
organised syndicates
and
associations of criminals, and bring its legal system in line
with international
standards aimed at combating transnational
organised crime.
In the United States of America
organised crime,
and any conduct that meets a
“pattern of racketeering”, are
prosecuted under the Racketeering Influenced and
Corrupt
Organizations Act 18 USCA 1961-1968. This legislation played a
significant
role when racketeering offences were formulated in the
South African Act.
The Prevention of
Organised Crime Act 121 of
1998 inter alia includes aspects such
as racketeering, money
laundering, gangs and the civil recovery of property. It also
deals with conduct of individual wrongdoing and crimes that cannot
be categorised
as
organised crime. This study focuses on
problematic aspects with regard to
racketeering offences in
Chapter 2 of the Act that are probably going to labour the
Constitutional Court and/or the Supreme Court of Appeal in the near
future.
One of the problematic aspects of Chapter 2 of the Act is
that it does not include a
definition of “racketeering”. It only
describes the different types of conduct which may
lead to a
successful prosecution on racketeering offences. The legislation
also
introduces new concepts, such as “enterprise” and “pattern of
racketeering activity”.
Therefore, in order to determine whether
the State will succeed in prosecuting an
accused with racketeering
offences, it must be established what is meant by the
terms of
being part of an “enterprise” and what a “pattern of racketeering
activity”
entails.
Also of importance is the requirement that two
or more offences referred to in
Schedule 1 of the Act must have
been committed for a successful prosecution.
Although the South
African courts have considered this aspect there is still room for
discussion as to whether an accused must have previously been
convicted of two or
more criminal offences referred to in Schedule
1 for a conviction on racketeering
offences, or whether the
commission of one offence will suffice.
The offence of
racketeering does not only consist of the commission of an act in
itself. The membership or association with a legal or illegal
organisation also plays a
vital role to determine culpability.
This study looks at the possible role (s) that an
accused may
fulfil when he is involved as a member of an organisation involved
with
racketeering offences. Another aspect that needs to be
clarified is the requirement relating to fault. The
element of
unlawfulness is also problematic when an accused did not foresee
the
possibility of unlawfulness of his actions. Close
consideration is given to the
requirements for culpability and
whether mere negligence on the part of a role player
is sufficient
as a form of mens rea for a successful prosecution or not.
The
element of…

▼ This thesis argues that both organised crime and corruption involve individuals facing similar economic and social incentives to engage in and expand the scale of corrupt and/or criminal activity. Despite these similarities, and in spite of the substantial increase in contemporary academic and popular interest in the problems of organised crime and corruption, the majority of political and economy studies of these problems focus on one phenomenon in isolation. This thesis examines the market for protection as an area where the two converge. It does so by taking a rational theory of criminal organisations as producers of protection, and extends that theory so that it is able to account for the organisational motivation and structure of both criminal and corrupt protection. This model is capable of conducting the kind of simultaneous analysis required to understand how and why individuals engage in and cooperate with each other in corrupt or criminal activity. It also reveals the factors and conditions that influence the degree to which such actions become integrated and entrenched.
This model is then refined using theories of social capital to incorporate the role of social incentives, roles and identities while remaining rooted in rational principles. The result is a socio-economic model of protection which is compatible with both the organised crime and corruption literatures, which serves to fill a gap between those two literatures, and which also which provides an example of one area in which rational and social theories of politics can be productively combined. The importance and usefulness of such an approach is illustrated in the context of police corruption, in a general comparative analysis of Russia and Italy, and with specific reference to police corruption in Australia. The development and application of the model also reveals incidental policy-relevant insights and avenues for future research, and reinforces the value of adopting an approach that allows for the simultaneous analysis of the problems of corruption and organised crime.

▼ Authors in the state failure school of thought in the literature on organised crime routinely fail to acknowledge the potential legitimacy of organised crime as a form of governance in weak states. This is in spite of providing evidence that organised crime often performs functions similar to that of the state. The unwillingness of authors in the state failure school of thought to acknowledge the potential legitimacy of organised crime as a form of governance results from their use of a state-centric modernist discourse to frame the issue. This discourse routinely privileges the state’s claim to the monopoly on the use of violence and concomitant right of extraction at the expense of other social groups, including organised crime, even in weak states.
This thesis challenges the dominant discourse in the state failure school by arguing that organised crime can be a legitimate form of governance in weak states when it exists in some way as a functional equivalent of the state. To test this claim, the thesis uses a historical-sociological approach to state formation and legitimacy to compare the supply of protection by the medieval state with that by contemporary criminal protection rackets in post-Communist Russia and Bulgaria in the 1990s. The results of a focused comparison between Russian and Bulgarian criminal protection rackets indicate that the legitimacy of organised crime as a form of governance in contemporary weak states is contingent on its ability to provide protection to certain social groups in the absence of effective state forms of governance.

▼ The thesis is a study of how Chinese illegal tiger parts trading networks are organized. In particular, this thesis tests in a qualitative manner the causal relationship between three independent variables and the network organizations of these markets. The three independent variables are “ethnicity”, “level of enforcement” and “proximity to the source country”. The thesis also discusses the dynamics of the illegal transactions of tiger parts products. Legitimate meditators or dispute resolutions mechanisms are lacking in the underworld so the risks, which the parties undertake during trading, are far higher. This thesis explores how illegal transactions are enforced, carried out and honored in this trade. In order to map the organization of the tiger trade, I conducted fieldwork in three trading hubs across China: Lhasa. Kunming and Xining. I discovered five tiger parts trading networks, three of which specialized in the trading of tiger skins and two in tiger bones. Within these networks, the level of perceived but not the actual level of risk influences the decisions of the actors in the network. Entry into the network is easy when the perceived level of enforcement is low. In these settings, there is no ethnic restriction for entering the network; the supplier is willing to trade with anyone with a trustworthy reputation. On the other hand, accessibility to the network is strictly controlled when actors perceive a high level of enforcement in their operating environment. Under this setting, the organization of the network becomes more exclusive and ethnically homogenous, as shown in the Tibetan tiger skin-trading network in Lhasa and the tiger bone-trading network in Kunming. The proximity of the tiger source country to the re-distribution sites (fieldwork cities) also influences the organization of the networks. When the level of enforcement is low and the tiger source country is far away from the re-distribution sites, a monetary deposit is required in order to show that the buyer is serious about his/her request, as shown by the tiger skin-trading network in Kunming.

▼ This thesis examined the operational structure of Southeast Asian drug trafficking groups operating on the eastern seaboard of Australia by testing the validity and application of organised crime and drug trafficking typologies using data obtained from 159 drug trafficking cases in three Australian states: New South Wales; Queensland; and Victoria. Key findings indicated that the usefulness of typologies is limited when classifying and analysing organised crime groups. In particular, Southeast Asian drug trafficking groups operated largely in small, informal, family-based hierarchies or groups that were better conceptualised using theoretical perspectives from network and cultural studies. The study recommended that replicating previous empirical research in the field is an effective approach that will contribute towards building a cumulative body of knowledge on organised crime structures.

▼ This thesis investigates the practices and compositions of gangs in Greater Manchester, England. Primarily drawing from qualitative data gathered in two adult, men’s prisons, it explores gang members’ activities, how these practices develop on ‘the street’, and how they are later affected by imprisonment. The thesis also explores the links between race, geographical area and gang affiliation, analysing how a gang member’s racial background and area of origin may relate to his gang. The results show the strong influence of gangs at the sample prisons, and how gangs affect the ways in which prisoners negotiate the carceral space: violent practices, gang allegiances and rivalries developed on ‘the street’ are regularly transplanted into prison. These high levels of gang ‘importation’ into the sample prisons result in the social and cultural significance of street gangs often penetrating prison walls. Area of origin and shared racial background are strong unifying ‘banners’ under which many prison gangs operate, and violence is an integral part of life in ‘the gang’. However, reflecting the academic literature, gang members often contest the terminology around ‘gangs’, showing the polarized discourse around these topics. The thesis attempts to resolve some of these debates by presenting a comprehensive gang typology shaped by theory and prisoners’ testimonies.

▼ The suppression of transnational organised crime has continued to rise on the agenda of the international community and is today an affirmed goal of most states. To increase the effectiveness of suppression, it is necessary for states to cooperate across borders in criminal investigations. The legal regime by which this is done is called mutual legal assistance, MLA, and is one of the most practically important developments in public international law over recent decades. The development however has led to several unanswered questions regarding the position of the individual in the procedure. Those are manifested in three main areas, namely; the requirements for employment of MLA; the application of exceptions and; human rights protection. This thesis elaborates on and analyses the balance between effectiveness in formal international law enforcement and the protection of fundamental rights in such procedures in the three main ambiguous areas. The analysis points to the importance of the principle of reciprocity for effective cooperation and argues that the conditions for MLA should not be altered. It argues that the number of exceptions shall be kept at a minimum. However, the efforts to abolish the exception for offences of a political nature should be halted or at least approached with more caution. This is true also of when concerning terrorism offences. The analysis shows that the protection available to the person whom the MLA request concerns is inadequate. There is an urgent need to reform the system in that respect, in particular by opening channels of complaint. The final conclusion is that, in light of the unquestionable importance of MLA in the suppression of transnational organised crime, it is possible to make limited reform in the areas of human rights and the guarantee of a right to a fair trial without jeopardising the necessary effectiveness of the system.

▼ peer-reviewed
―The Innocent Have Nothing To Fear‖Over the past quarter of a century, conventional criminal procedure has often been perceived as inadequate in the face of increasing levels of (and concern surrounding) organised crime. Against this backdrop, the criminal justice system has undergone significant substantive, institutional and procedural reform, with a demonstrative shift in the direction towards a crime control model at the expense of due process norms. This is particularly evident in the adoption of civil forfeiture as a tool of law enforcement, which sees criminal law objectives being pursued in the civil process. While this might be attractive to police and prosecution authorities in terms of enhanced efficiency and expediency, it does raise a number of serious concerns as to the rights of the individual – not least that a person can be ―punished‖ in ―civil‖ proceedings stripped of the benefit of enhanced procedural protections inherent in the criminal process.
Civil forfeiture was adopted in Ireland primarily through the Proceeds of Crime Act. Even in the absence of a criminal conviction, a person may be restrained in dealing with specified property where the courts are satisfied that that property constitutes, or was acquired with, proceeds of crime. This is on the civil standard, proof on the balance of probabilities, rather than the criminal standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt. Moreover, there are rules of evidence and investigatory powers that enhance efficiency and expediency but are particularly burdensome on a person faced with proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Alongside this Act, a new policing body was formed, composed of officials from different state agencies working together for crime control purposes. The Criminal Assets Bureau is, it is contended, a multi-agency policing body, exercising police powers for crime control purposes but also empowered with enhanced powers and resources as a result of its multi-agency character. By virtue of its civil/ administrative persona, though, the Bureau is able to circumvent many of the checks and balances that apply to An Garda Síochána. While the Bureau does have the potential to enhance the efficacy of law enforcement, there are a number of concerns as to governance, transparency and accountability.
Given executive enthusiasm for the use of the civil process as a tool of law enforcement, it is left to the courts to ensure that before criminal punishment is meted out a person is afforded standard due process protections. The difficulty here, however, is how to distinguish the civil from the criminal, and when criminal procedural safeguards ought be applied. Indeed, in light of the demarcation between the civil and criminal paradigms being blurred and fragmented, the courts have, regrettably, failed to insist upon enhanced procedural protections in ―criminal‖ matters proceeding under the guise of a ―civil‖ matter. This thesis contends that civil forfeiture, while purportedly a civil procedure, is, de facto, a form of criminal…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research study discusses the extent to which transnational organised crime (TOC) has had an
impact on Norwegian immigration policy. There has been a public debate in Norway about the
involvement of asylum seekers in various forms of organised crime, leading immigration authorities
to lament their insufficient resources and means to tackle the problem. Simultaneously, restrictive
amendments have been made to the Norwegian Immigration Act, suggesting that immigration law is
applied against TOC. The aim of the study is to understand why there has been a change in
Norwegian immigration policy, and to discuss the effects and implications of the change.
The study is a single-case study using qualitative methods, as the study seeks to provide a detailed
description of Norwegian immigration policy and the context in which the changes in the immigration
policy have been made. The case of Norway has been chosen because of the increasing focus that
TOC has been receiving from Norwegian immigration authorities, accompanied by broad media
coverage and restrictive amendments to the Immigration Act. The theories that are applied –
criminologies of the self and the other, crimmigration, and securitisation theory – are all chosen
because they address different aspects of “us” and “them” thinking.
The study argues that the increased focus on transnational organised crime in Norwegian crime
statistics reflects the narrative of the criminal other, found in criminologies of the self and the other.
Within this narrative the criminal others are distinctly different from ordinary citizens of society and
must be excluded for our own security and protection. This contributes to reinforcement of a
discourse in which asylum seekers and illegal immigrants become difficult to distinguish from
suspicious others and criminals. Accordingly, there is support for the claim that Norwegian
immigration policy has been subject to a process of crimmigration. Further, it is found that Norwegian
immigration policy has been securitised. It is concluded that although there might be a connection
between transnational organised crime and a shift in immigration policy, the change in immigration
policy is rather a result of the larger issue of immigration in general. The theoretical framework shows
how immigration becomes framed within a security and criminal context, leading to a narrative where
the other becomes a potential threat to members of society. This is problematic in a world where
inequality is on the rise, and international conventions on human rights are at odds with punitive
populism.

▼ This research attempts to analyse the modus operandi (MO) of perpetrators used in cases of trafficking in persons for sexual purposes, and trafficking in children.
The Trafficking in Persons Bill was passed in South Africa, but not gazetted; therefore, alternate charges are used to prosecute perpetrators.
The purpose, value and elements of MO allow an investigator to link a perpetrator to a specific
crime scene.
The research provides an examination of case dockets and the MO of perpetrators in human trafficking – inter alia, looking at such issues as time, location, transport routes used, criminal motive, recruitment styles, and the number of offenders.
The MO of perpetrators identified during docket analysis indicates many similarities, when compared to the international MO of traffickers.
The gathering of MO information forms a critical part of any investigation to link a perpetrator to a
crime.
This research therefore presents a comprehensive examination of the MO of perpetrators, and delivers practical recommendations to monitor and combat trafficking.

▼ Je démontre que, dans cette région (le Sahel), les groupes armés (djihadistes ou indépendantistes) agissent moins pour des valeurs que par cupidité. C’est pourquoi la violence n’y résulte pas de leur volonté d’imposer leurs projets (un émirat islamique ou un Etat indépendant touarègue) mais de la hausse d’activités criminelles entraînant l’implication d’un nombre grandissant d’acteurs.Ce travail de recherche a commencé par une enquête, en 2009, après l’enlèvement de ressortissants espagnols par AQMI (Al Qaida au Maghreb islamique) à Nouadhibou (nord-ouest de la Mauritanie). J’ai alors entamé une série entretiens avec des repentis d’AQMI, autour de la thématique de la « Salafiya djihadia» : en Mauritanie d’abord, puis au nord du Mali, où les otages avaient été transférés. Par la suite, j’ai continué ma recherche au Burkina Faso et au Niger (lieu de négociations pour la libération des otages) par des entretiens avec des combattants actifs et inactifs des groupes d’insurgés, et d’anciens combattants de groupes terroristes actuellement intégrés dans le système. Ces entretiens ont été complétés par de nombreuses rencontres avec les notables des communautés tribales dans le nord du Mali, qui ne s’identifient pas aux groupes armés mais ont des liens familiaux et claniques avec eux.C’est à partir de là que j’ai commencé à développer un carnet de recherche qui, après des enquêtes de terrain (Tombouctou, Gao, le sud du Mali, Niamey et Ouagadougou), m’a amenée à conclure qu’attribuer la menace au Sahel au «Djihad» ou bien au «radicalisme religieux» est très réducteur. A travers le discours de chefs de tribus, de barons de la drogue, de repentis d’organisations armées basées sur les référents tribaux, j’ai compris que la situation sécuritaire au Sahel dépasse la question idéologique - djihadiste ou sécessionniste - et qu’il faut introduire les dimensions espace/terre/économie pour une analyse complète. C’est-à-dire que, sans exclure toute motivation idéologique dans l’agenda des groupes armés, la tendance à leur (re)configuration en fonction d’opportunités économiques marque une évolution majeure dans la situation sécuritaire.En focalisant la recherche vers la connexion entre l’espace, la tribu et l’affichage idéologique, je déconstruis d’abord le postulat que les rebellions, en particulier touarègues, représentent les populations du nord Mali, ne serait-ce qu’en raison de la diversité des communautés qui y vivent (Arabes, Peuls, Songhai). Je déconstruis également l’idée que les soulèvements armés survenus dans ‘l’Azawad’ à partir du XXe siècle répondent à des raisons idéologiques, alors qu’il s’agit avant tout de gestion d’un espace en termes économiques (enlèvements d’otages, trafics d’armes et de cocaïne…).Je décris et analyse ensuite les différentes facettes du djihadisme au Nord du Mali en cherchant à répondre à la question suivante : que s’est-il passé au cours des deux dernières décennies pour que les djihadistes aient pu facilement établir des zones d’influence ? Puis j’analyse l’impact du
crime organisé et sa…

▼ Given the complexities of our time, it is not surprising that criminological models, theories and perspectives often fall short of providing complete and satisfactory explanations of complex phenomena. Organised crime and terrorism, and the emerging crime-terror nexus, are examples of such phenomena. If they were simple, they would be easy to understand and prevent, but they are not. Complexity science (‘complexity’) studies complex phenomena. Given the nature of organised crime, terrorism and the crime-terror nexus, one would expect that the family of complexity, including chaos theory, might lend itself to furthering our understanding and knowledge of these phenomena. Drawing on the natural and social sciences, this thesis explores the notion. In doing so, a new complexity model, using borrowed science, is developed to apply complexity in a criminological context, and to critically examine organised crime, terrorism and the crime-terror nexus through a complexity lens. The new complexity model is tested using the case study method and considers whether the new model furthers our understanding and knowledge of these complex phenomena, together with practical and policy implications. The thesis also considers whether the new complexity model adds a new tool to the criminologist's toolbox to provide fresh and novel insights into complex problems.

▼ Based upon two years of ethnographic fieldwork in London, England, which incorporated nearly 200 interviews with gang members, gang associates, and police officers, among others, this thesis addresses three questions presently unresolved in the street gangs literature: What is the business of gangs? How are gangs organised? And how do gangs recruit? With regard the business of gangs, this thesis illustrates how recreation, crime, enterprise, and extra-legal governance represent sequential stages in the evolutionary cycle of London’s street gangs. Gang member testimony emphasises how gangs typically begin life as neighbourhood-based peer groups, but also how, in response to external threats and financial commitments, gangs grow to incorporate street-level drugs distribution businesses that very much resemble the multi-level marketing structure of direct-sales companies. People join gangs to make money, achieve status, and obtain protection. Gangs engage in turf wars, acquire violent resources, and develop hierarchical structures in order to maintain provision of these desirable goods and services. Gang organisation, in turn, becomes a function of gang business. To better understand the nature and extent of gang organisation, this thesis moves on to discuss the presence of subgroups, hierarchy and leadership, pecuniary and non-pecuniary incentives, rules, responsibilities, and restrictions, and consequences for absconding within gangs. It further presents how, in order to convey reputation and achieve intimidation, gangs seek association with elements of popular culture that help promote their image. Finally, through the novel application of signalling theory to the gang recruitment process, this thesis demonstrates how gangs face a primary trust dilemma in their uncertainty over the quality of recruits. Given that none of the trust-warranting properties for gang membership can be readily discovered from observation, gangs look for observable signs correlated with these properties. Gangs face a secondary trust dilemma in their uncertainty over the reliability of signs because certain agents (e.g., police informants, rival gang members, and adventure-seekers) have incentives to mimic them. To overcome their informational asymmetry gangs thus screen for signs that are too costly for mimics to fake but affordable for the genuine article. The thesis concludes with a discussion of gang desistance and intervention in the context of escalating youth violence in London.

▼ The relation between organized crime and corruption is widely documented. Quite often, corruption is included in the definition of organized crime as one of the most common activities of organized criminal groups. This thesis offers an interpretation of the strategic choice of criminal organizations to resort to corrupting state officials and civil servants. The game-theoretic approach adopted looks at corruption as a rational choice made by two ‘players’: criminal organizations and states. Corruption emerges as the least costly option when the power balance between the two is maintained. In the context of this theory, a description of both organized crime and corruption is attempted. Organized criminality is described as a type of unlawful activity that can be distinguished from similar collective criminal activities by reference to its tendency to establish monopolies. Understanding the nature of this criminal monopoly is crucial for an accurate description of the powerful position from which criminal organizations ‘negotiate’ with the state. Corruption is described as an instance of cooperation to the end of mutually advancing each party’s interests - that is, a phenomenon that extends beyond financial transactions and the relationship between citizens and the state. Once the crucial concepts and the proposed theory of cooperation are properly analysed, they are tested empirically by means of a hybrid historic-comparative method, which combines the methods of agreement and difference. The cases examined in the context of the former method are the Sicilian Mafia, the Japanese Jakuza and Chicago’s Outfit. Gangs are employed as a ‘control case’, since they share many characteristics with criminal organizations but lack the tendency to monopolise their area of interest. The confirmation of the theoretical findings of the thesis is followed by a critical review of the current legislation and policy recommendations.
Η σχέση ανάμεσα στο οργανωμένο έγκλημα και τη διαφθορά είναι ευρύτατα καταγεγραμμένη. Συχνά, η διαφθορά συμπεριλαμβάνεται στον ορισμό του οργανωμένου εγκλήματος ως μία από τις συνηθέστατες δραστηριότητες των εγκληματικών οργανώσεων. Αυτή η διατριβή προσφέρει μία ερμηνεία της στρατηγικής επιλογής των εγκληματικών οργανώσεων να καταφεύγουν στη διαφθορά κρατικών αξιωματούχων και δημοσίων λειτουργών. Η παιγνιοθεωρητική προσέγγιση που προκρίνεται αντιμετωπίζει τη διαφθορά ως μία ορθολογική επιλογή από τους δύο εμπλεκόμενους «παίκτες»: τις εγκληματικές οργανώσεις και τα κράτη. Η διαφθορά αναδεικνύεται ως η λιγότερο επιζήμια επιλογή όταν η σχέση ισχύος ανάμεσά τους είναι σχετικά ισορροπημένη. Στο πλαίσιο της ανάπτυξης αυτής της θεωρίας επιχειρείται η περιγραφή των δύο κρίσιμων εννοιών, ήτοι του οργανωμένου εγκλήματος και της διαφθοράς. Οι εγκληματικές οργανώσεις περιγράφονται ως ένας φαινότυπος παραβατικής δράσης που διακρίνεται από παρεμφερείς ομαδικές δραστηριότητες με βασικό κριτήριο το μονοπωλιακό χαρακτήρα της. Η κατανόηση αυτού του χαρακτήρα είναι κρίσιμη για την περιγραφή της θέσης ισχύος από την οποία το…

▼ Studies have shown that drug traffickers and
organised crime syndicates form transnational networks. They source drugs from one continent, traffic them to another and market them on the third. The drug trade is non-discriminant in its location. However, other than occasional media stories or annual police reports, little is known about the drug trade in South Africa, and particularly in Durban, South Africa‟s major port. Though drug abuse seems to be on the rise, gaps remain in knowledge concerning exactly where these drugs come from and how they are distributed. This study specifically addressed the knowledge of and perceptions about illicit drug trafficking in Durban. Theoretically, drugs could be received by air, sea, road or rail. This study was an attempt to establish exactly who brought illicit drugs into and distributed them within Durban, where this happened, and how it was accomplished. The investigation included the implications and the prevailing perceptions of this phenomenon. Additionally, an examination was conducted on the efficacy of existing local and national policy as well as regulatory frameworks dealing with illicit drug trafficking. The study employed a threefold mixed-method methodology, consisting of semi-structured interviews, ethnographic research (i.e., in Chatsworth) and a focus group interview that was conducted in Kharwastan. The interview participants ranged from police officers and the
Organised Crime Unit personnel to airport and harbour officials, a drug dealer, an informant, and a pharmacist. The study site was located in Inanda, Chatsworth, Durban Harbour, King Shaka Airport (Cargo terminal), Phoenix, and Pietermaritzburg. A variety of themes were uncovered. The main thematic outcomes were the following: monetary reward is a motivating factor for trafficking in drugs; foreign residents are the main perpetrators of drug trafficking; a lack of proper boarder control in South Africa contributes to drug trafficking; unemployment is a contributing factor; a lack of family values and non-existent or weak parental influences are social and economic contributors to the drug trafficking phenomenon; and policies and legislation on drugs are met with a mixed response. Moreover, several participants spoke strongly of the need for a designated drug unit in South Africa. Due to the ever-changing nature of the drug market, it is vital that interventions be pliable and qualitative in nature. The scarcity of data on illicit drug trafficking in Africa, and particularly in South Africa, stands in the way of societies fully understanding the nature of this
crime. Better data will result in better policies.

▼ By relying mainly on court cases and interviews with pentiti (people who turned state's evidence), this thesis shows that the role of women in the Italian mafia has significantly changed since 1945. Beyond performing their traditional role, including transmitting mafia values, encouraging vendetta, guaranteeing men's honour and participating in arranged marriages, women started to be involved in criminal activities. Through an historical approach, this thesis demonstrates that changes in the mafia in terms of businesses and structure, and changes in Italian women's conditions have been contributory factors to the above process. This thesis identifies those historical conjunctures where the supply and demand of female labour met within the last thirty years. Since the 1970s, the expansion of drug trafficking and the subsequent accumulation of vast sums of money to be recycled led the mafia to employ women who were also trustworthy and above suspicion. The mafia's need to involve women occurred also in the early 1980s and in the early-mid 1990s when the state improved its battle against the mafia. As many mafia bosses were imprisoned or went underground women assumed temporary leadership positions. The mafia's need for workers was concomitant with the changes in women's conditions in the legal world, resulting in the gradual dissolution of gender barriers and the growth of female education, which made women more likely to be employed by organised crime. This thesis argues that the new female participation in the mafia was not the result of a concession of equality within the mafia labour market. General indicators, such as the persistence of patriarchal relations and women's economic dependence, temporary allocation of power to women during periods of emergency, use of female labour in low profile jobs, and exclusion of women from career opportunities, suggest that the increasing public presence of women in the mafia, beyond mere supportive and private roles, was the result of a process of female `pseudo-emancipation'. On the contrary, women who turned state's evidence were examples of female liberation since they chose to reject the male dominated mafia system.

▼ This study was conducted with the aim to critically analyse how the
crime of human trafficking for sexual exploitation can be identified in order to develop practical guidelines to be used during the identification of this
crime in South Africa. In this study the researcher conducted a review of pertinent literature, both international and national, to gain an understanding of the problem being researched.
The explanatory sequential mixed-method design was used with the main purpose to use the qualitative data to help explain in more detail the initial quantitative results obtained. The explanatory sequential mixed-methods design assisted the researcher to follow a procedure whereby the mixed-mode survey design was applied to collect data through questionnaires. These questionnaires were in the form of mailed, self-administered surveys and in-person interviews with human trafficking provincial coordinators, police officials and investigators of human trafficking within the nine provinces country wide during the first quantitative phase of this study. The data were analysed and followed up during the second qualitative phase with interview schedules that were used in semi-structured one-on-one interviews with the following persons: police investigators working at the SAPS
organised crime units who dealt with and investigated cases of human trafficking where victims were trafficked for sexual exploitation; state prosecutors working at the National Prosecuting Authority who dealt with, identified and prosecuted human trafficking cases where victims were trafficked for sexual exploitation in South Africa; NGOs who work in the field of counter-trafficking and victim assistance; and an international police investigator who dealt with, identified and investigated human trafficking cases where victims were trafficked for sexual exploitation.
The researcher is of the opinion that this study (analysing how the
crime of human trafficking for sexual exploitation can be identified in order to develop practical guidelines to be used during the identification of this
crime in South Africa) presents a significant contribution to the identification of human trafficking for sexual exploitation incidents in South Africa and subsequently presents practical guidelines that can be used during the identification of this phenomenon in South Africa.
SUMMARY
“Modern slavery – be it bonded labour, involuntary servitude, or sexual slavery – is a
crime and cannot be tolerated in any culture, community, or country... [It] is an affront to our values and our commitment to human rights.”
(US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, US Department of State,
Trafficking in Persons Report, 2010)

crime of human trafficking for sexual exploitation can be identified in order to develop practical guidelines to be used during the identification of this
crime in South Africa. In this study the researcher conducted a review of pertinent literature, both international and national, to…

▼ Tematyka rozprawy doktorskiej sytuuje się w obszarze polityki energetycznej. Dotyczy szeroko pojętej problematyki ochrony interesów państwa w niezwykle newralgicznym dla niego obszarze jakim jest sektor paliw płynnych. Branża paliwowa stanowi istotny element strategiczny polityki państwa polskiego i pomimo ponad 27 lat przemian społeczno-gospodarczych nadal wymaga rozwiązań systemowych i prawnych. Przeprowadzone badania potwierdziły, iż przestępczość ekonomiczna powoduje miliardowe straty dla budżetu państwa, a w konsekwencji stanowi zagrożenie stabilności podmiotów prowadzących działalność zgodnie z prawem, jak i potencjalnych klientów. Przestępczość ta jest niezwykle groźna, gdyż z uwagi na towarzyszące jej przestępstwa kryminalne, korupcyjne oraz pranie brudnych pieniędzy, dotyka nie tylko sfery bezpieczeństwa i porządku publicznego, ale również bezpieczeństwa ekonomicznego państwa. Wobec tego istotną jest polityka państwa, która poprzez sprawowany nadzór i kontrolę nad działalnością ekonomiczną, zobowiązana jest do skutecznego zapobiegania niepożądanym z interesem państwa zjawiskom w obrocie gospodarczym. W wielu przypadkach państwo polskie w tak kluczowym obszarze gospodarki, nie zawsze dość skutecznie kreowało politykę w celu uszczelnienia systemu podatkowego oraz w zakresie dostosowywania prawa. Spowodowane to było m.in. tworzeniem przez kolejno zmieniające się rządy nowych uregulowań prawnych, poprzez dostosowywanie je do własnych potrzeb czy też obietnic danych wyborcom.

▼ In this dissertation, I analyse the economic consequences of two categories of violence:
organised crime and internal conflicts. It is well-established in the economic literature that both
organised crime and civil wars imply significant economic losses. For example, Abadie and Gardeazabal (2003) investigate the economic effect of the Basque terror campaign and estimate a reduction of the GDP per capita of approximately 10 percent. Similarly,
Pinotti (2015) studies the economic effect of the Italian mafia expansion into two regions not historically affected by this phenomenon, and measures a reduction of the GDP per capita of approximately 16 percent. Here, I estimate the cost of
organised crime by looking at the economic consequences of resource misallocation linked to the Italian mafia presence. I study the cost of internal conflicts by taking a close look at the contemporaneous effects of civil wars and at the humanitarian crisis triggered by these violent events.
In Chapter 1, I study how the response of firms to mafia infiltrations can generate economic costs. I explain theoretically that extortion racketing imposed on firms located in Northern Italy is linked to resource misallocation, which is measured using the within-industry covariance between size and productivity. Using a model of monopolistic competition, I prove that extortion racketing generates misallocation, because it introduces distortions in the alignment of the rankings of firms' productivity and size. I then test this hypothesis using a panel dataset that provides information on the economic performance of 12 sectors, located in the 46 Italian provinces, between years 1998 and 2012. Through a triple-Difference-in-Differences strategy I provide evidence that the industries that are appealing for mafia groups, located in territories that experience mafia presence, suffer resource misallocation after mafia arrival.
In Chapter 2, I take the findings in the previous chapter to develop a method to estimate the economic cost of mafia infiltrations in the northern Italian economy. Specifically, I quantify the share of output that mafia groups extort from firms and the output loss that these transfers imply. The novelty of this methodology relies on the use of both panel data analysis and structural econometrics. The results of this analysis suggest that the transfer ranges between 1 and 8 percent of firm-level output for the taxed firms. I simulate the counterfactual northern Italian economy without infiltrations and estimate the cost due to mafia expansion. The results suggest that the northern Italian economy, between 2000 and 2012, suffered an aggregate loss of approximately 2.5 billion Euros. Only one fourth of this cost is the aggregate transfer to mafia groups. The remaining three fourths correspond to the contraction of production that impacted firms suffer because of resource misallocation.
In Chapter 3, I study the economic impact of internal conflicts. This chapter is extracted by the World Bank Policy Report Recovery from conflict:…

▼ Dissertação de Mestrado em Estratégia
A Nova Ordem Mundial é caracterizada pelo novo conceito de Segurança e de Defesa, pela Globalização e a Revolução Tecnológica, pelo aparecimento de novos actores internacionais não convencionais e pela emergência de novas ameaças transnacionais. Entre as quais se destacam, segundo a Estratégia Europeia de Segurança (EES): o Terrorismo, a Proliferação de ADM (Armas de Destruição em Massa), Conflitos Regionais, Estados Falhados e Crime Organizado.
O Estado Falhado é uma ameaça transnacional que advém da proliferação de Estados que possuem estruturas estatais e económicas débeis, que não detêm o monopólio do uso da força, não sendo capazes de administrar as reformas necessárias e garantir a integridade territorial.
Por seu turno, o Crime Organizado emergiu como uma das grandes ameaças à Segurança internacional provocando uma erosão dos órgãos de Soberania e de Segurança, mitigando o Estado de Direito e a ordem política interna e ameaçando o Bem-Estar social e de Direitos Humanos.
Estas duas ameaças quando conjugadas protagonizam uma grande ameaça à Segurança e estabilidade internacionais, na medida em que estes Estados emergem como um espaço de edificação para as actividades do Crime Organizado como tráfico humano, de armas e drogas e crimes financeiros - onde existe um vazio de Poder legítimo garante de Segurança, integridade e independência, os grupos criminosos utilizam estes Estados como base de operação, logística, planeamento e depósito para as suas actividades ilícitas.
Como caso de estudo será utilizado o exemplo da Guiné-Bissau, que parece apresenta causas e características de um Estado Falhado e, simultaneamente é um dos principais entrepostos na rota de narcotráfico entre a América Latina e a Europa.
Uma solução viável para o combate destas duas ameaças transnacionais implica uma cooperação multilateral a dois níveis: o fortalecimento dos Estados fracos e o combate internacional ao Crime Organizado, através da Convenção das NU.
The New World Order is characterised by the new concept of Security and of Defense, Globalisation and the Technological Revolution, by the emergence of new international non-conventional actors and by new transnational threats. With special reference to, according to the European Security Strategy (ESS): Terrorism, Proliferation of WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction), Regional Conflicts, Failed States and Organised Crime.
Failed States are a transnational threat that derives from the proliferation of States that have weak state and economic structures, has lost the monopoly on the use of force and isn’t able to administer the necessary political and economic reforms and to ensure the territorial integrity.
In turn, Organised Crime has emerged as one of the greatest threats to international Security, causing the erosion of the Sovereignty organs and Security, mitigating the Rule of Law and the internal political order as well as threatening the Welfare state and Human Rights.
These two threats when combined represent one of the greatest threats…

▼ This study focuses on examining the security
implications of money laundering and countermeasures, with
reference to South Africa. The purpose of this study was to
establish the following: What is the extent,
and what are the security implications of money laundering in South
Africa; whether the current money laundering
countermeasures in South Africa were effectively implemented from
1994 up to the end of 2006; if South Africa
could implement better money laundering controls when compared to
the G7/8 countries; and what the factors were
that influenced money laundering in South Africa, compared to the
G7/8 countries This study also examined the
validity of the following assumptions: That
there are still shortcomings in the practical application of money
laundering countermeasures in South Africa, despite these
countermeasures being based on the legislative measures adopted by
the G7/8 countries; and money laundering
promotes
crime and corruption in South Africa.
An analysis of the South African anti-money laundering
legislation indicated that South Africa had legislatively adopted
all of the Financial Action Task Force money laundering
recommendations. It was found that despite the strong legislative
framework to combat money laundering in South Africa, these efforts
were undermined by a lack of capacity; poor coordination that led
to a large volume of reports being filed without a corresponding
track record of successful prosecutions; and the failure to adopt
advances in information technology. This led to a lack of
effectively and efficiently translating the anti-money laundering
legislation into practice in South Africa.
