About the conference

The Illicit Networks Workshop (INW) includes the leading scholars and analysts from across the world that share a research interest in the use of network analysis in furthering the understanding of the activities of individuals, groups, and organizations engaged in organized crime, gangs, transnational crime and corruption issues. The INW is designed with the goal of maximizing meaningful and ongoing knowledge exchange among researchers, policy makers and those involved in policy, program and practical engagement with illicit networks. While some members draw heavily on quantitative social network analysis, others utilize other methods (e.g. ethnography) for studying illicit networks. The focus is less on the relative merits of the approach and more on the rigor of the science and value of the insights to theory building and practical policy solutions.
