Social network analysis finally reached a critical mass of scholars
in the field of criminology. The proven track record of network
theory and methods in fostering new advances in our understanding
of crimes and criminals has extended the web of researchers willing
to integrate this approach to their work. It is more than just a
fad - once you adopt a network approach, it almost inevitably
becomes the main lens through which you see crime. The insights
learned from analysing matrices of relations among offenders, from
exploiting the interdependence among actors instead of finding ways
to avoid it are simply too great to ignore. This book provides a
state of the art assessment into network research currently being
conducted in criminology and beyond, pushing the field further in
multiple ways. A series of contributions tackle themes and
offending types that had yet to be previously empirically
investigated, including political conspiracies, steroid
distribution, methamphetamine production, illicit marketplaces on
the Internet, and small arms trafficking. Advances are also found
in the data sources used to extract illicit networks, and the
methods used to analyse them. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Global Crime.
