Organized Crime at the Intersections of Oppression
Sat, Nov 22, 9:30 to 10:50am, Marriott, Pacific E, 4th FloorSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
History has many examples of underground networks operating unlawfully to work against oppressive regimes. This panel highlights historical and criminological research on illicit networks undermining oppressive regimes with a strong emphasis on organized crime networks. Papers on this panel assess whether the methodologies of underground networks retain the same characteristics if the operators are working for a legitimate purpose rather than a criminal goal.
