Research using social network analysis to study illicit networks has blossomed since publication of a seminal article by Sparrow. Nonetheless, it took about ten years before Sparrow’s call to arms gained traction, with some scepticism from the wider social science academy about the utility of social network analysis as a viable tool. Since those early days, we have witnessed a burgeoning interest in the field of illicit networks, and in particular, the use of social network analysis as an effective tool for criminologists and crime analysts. This interest has spawned a robust body of research that has pushed the field forward, through various technical reports, academic journal articles, books and conferences. The Illicit Networks Workshop (INW), in particular, has become a tentpole event where illicit network researchers and analysts converge to share their latest research in an effort to advance the field. In 2020, the workshop will be in its thirteenth year, and boasts an international membership, having been hosted by institutions in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States. This special issue brings together a sampling of the presentations from the 10th INW hosted in Adelaide, Australia in 2017and represents some of the latest developments in the field. The special issue presents four articles that utilise innovative methods to explore a variety of different illicit networks, including organised criminal groups, gangs, and the trafficking in counterfeit alcohol. The first article by Nakamura, Tita and Krackhardt explores the role of local structural conditions that can facilitate or hinder violence between enemies, by focusing on gun violence among street gangs. They find that balanced structures tend to involve less violence but that a gang will initiate violence in attempts to reinforce a dominant position. The paper demonstrates that a network perspective can reveal important characteristics of the dynamics of inter-gang violence. Next, Hughes, Chalmers and Bright explore interrelationships between drug trafficking and other forms of organised criminal activity. They demonstrate that almost one quarter of drug trafficking cases involved concurrent serious or organised crime charges such as firearms offences and corruption. The paper represents an innovative use of social network analysis to explore interconnections across a range of criminal activities undertaken by organised criminal groups. Diviak, Dijkstra and Snijders then present an analysis of a counterfeit alcohol distribution network using exponential random graph models (ERGMs). They found that the network structure was characterised by triadic closure, a negative tendency to concentrate ties, and the translation of pre-existing ties into operational ties. The results demonstrate the utility of social network analysis to not only describe the structure of organised criminal groups, but to reveal important characteristics of the social dynamics through
自从Sparrow发表了一篇开创性的文章以来,利用社交网络分析来研究非法网络的研究蓬勃发展。尽管如此,大约十年后,斯派罗的号召才获得支持,更广泛的社会科学院对社交网络分析作为一种可行工具的效用表示怀疑。自早期以来,我们看到人们对非法网络领域的兴趣日益高涨,特别是将社会网络分析作为犯罪学家和犯罪分析人员的有效工具。这种兴趣催生了一系列强有力的研究,通过各种技术报告、学术期刊文章、书籍和会议推动了该领域的发展。特别是非法网络研讨会已经成为一个帐篷活动,非法网络研究人员和分析人员聚集在这里,分享他们的最新研究,以推动该领域的发展。2020年,该研讨会将进入第十三个年头,拥有国际会员资格,由澳大利亚、加拿大、爱尔兰、英国和美国的机构主办。本特刊汇集了2017年在澳大利亚阿德莱德举办的第十届INW的演讲样本,代表了该领域的一些最新发展。特刊提供了四篇文章,利用创新的方法探索各种不同的非法网络,包括有组织犯罪集团、帮派和假酒贩运。Nakamura、Tita和Krackhardt的第一篇文章通过关注街头帮派中的枪支暴力,探讨了当地结构条件在促进或阻碍敌人之间暴力方面的作用。他们发现,平衡的结构往往涉及较少的暴力,但帮派会发起暴力,试图巩固主导地位。本文表明,网络视角可以揭示帮派间暴力动态的重要特征。接下来,Hughes、Chalmers和Bright探讨了贩毒和其他形式的有组织犯罪活动之间的相互关系。他们表明,近四分之一的贩毒案件同时涉及严重或有组织犯罪指控,如枪支犯罪和腐败。该论文创新性地利用社会网络分析来探索有组织犯罪集团进行的一系列犯罪活动之间的相互联系。Diviak、Dijkstra和Snijders随后使用指数随机图模型(ERGM)对假酒分销网络进行了分析。他们发现,网络结构的特点是三元封闭,关系集中的负面趋势,以及将预先存在的关系转化为运营关系。研究结果表明,社会网络分析不仅可以描述有组织犯罪集团的结构,还可以揭示这些集团形成和发展的社会动态的重要特征。《2020年全球犯罪》,第21卷,第1期,第1-2页https://doi.org/10.1080/17440572.2020.1716520

Small-world networks and synchronisation in an agent-based model of civil violence 基于代理人的民间暴力模型中的小世界网络和同步

ABSTRACT The rapid evolution and current ubiquity of social media as a form of communication calls for a revision of many models of collective behaviour. In this paper, we modify a classic agent-based model of civil violence by Epstein (2002) consisting of citizen and law-enforcement agents by integrating a Watts-Strogatz small-world network (SWN). The SWN simulates non-local connections between citizens, enabling influence by both local and distant neighbours and providing an analogue to social media. The objective was to examine the influence of non-local connections on civil violence dynamics for varied law-enforcement concentration and network density. For lower law-enforcement concentrations, the SWN influence leads to more frequent large-scale violent outbursts, while for higher law-enforcement concentrations, outcomes depended most strongly on the number of local neighbours. The long-range coupling across the lattice due to the SWN provides a new mechanism for non-trivial dynamics and leads to a synchronisation effect.
作为一种交流形式,社交媒体的快速发展和当前无处不在要求对许多集体行为模型进行修订。在本文中,我们通过整合Watts-Strogatz小世界网络(SWN),对Epstein(2002)提出的由公民和执法机构组成的基于主体的经典民事暴力模型进行了修正。SWN模拟了公民之间的非本地联系,从而实现了本地和远方邻居的影响,并提供了一种类似于社交媒体的方式。目的是研究非本地联系对不同执法集中程度和网络密度的公民暴力动态的影响。对于执法集中度较低的地区,SWN的影响会导致更频繁的大规模暴力爆发,而对于执法集中度较高的地区,结果在很大程度上取决于当地邻居的数量。由SWN引起的跨晶格的远程耦合为非平凡动力学提供了一种新的机制,并导致了同步效应。

Radicalization in arms? Exploring armed violence capital in the context of Quebec’s civilian military simulation communities 武器的激进?在魁北克军民模拟社区的背景下探索武装暴力之都

ABSTRACT Introducing the concept of ‘armed violence capital’, this paper intends to explore radicalisation leading to violence through the acquisition of knowledge and skills of violence without active ideological indoctrination. Using civilian communities practicing specific military simulations as a case study, it assesses how this type of training might be used for a deviant and extremist purpose. Based on a mixed-method approach of ethnographic observations, surveys, and interviews of civilian military simulation participants, it first describes this activity before explaining how such training can allow participants to acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards the use of violence. Showing the observed members of this community are not violent extremists, this study suggests that an ideological motivation is needed for the use of extreme violence, but that a violent radicalisation process can evolve without this ideological aspect.
本文通过引入“武装暴力资本”的概念,探讨在没有积极意识形态灌输的情况下,通过获取暴力知识和技能而导致暴力的激进化。它以平民社区练习特定军事模拟作为案例研究,评估了这种类型的训练如何被用于偏离常规和极端主义的目的。基于对平民军事模拟参与者的人种学观察、调查和访谈的混合方法,它首先描述了这一活动,然后解释了这种培训如何使参与者获得知识、技能和对使用暴力的态度。这项研究表明,观察到的这个社区的成员并不是暴力极端分子,这表明使用极端暴力需要意识形态动机,但暴力激进化过程可以在没有意识形态方面的情况下发展。

ABSTRACT This paper explores the role of local structural conditions that facilitate or hinder violence when enmity is present between parties, by examining shooting-involved violence among street gangs in Long Beach, California. Using structural balance theory, this paper investigates whether certain triadic structures in which two rival gangs i and j are related to a third gang is associated with the levels of violence that i will inflict upon j. Based on multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure to adjust for the dependent structure in the network, the results show that after controlling for individual and dyadic explanations, structural conditions are robust predictors of the levels and the directions of inter-gang violence. Structural imbalance indicates a lack of clear dominance in relations and predicts increased violence. Balanced structures tend to be much less violent; however, a gang will initiate violence if by doing so it expects to reinforce its dominant position.
摘要本文通过对加利福尼亚州长滩市街头帮派枪击暴力事件的调查,探讨了当各方之间存在敌意时,当地结构条件在促进或阻碍暴力行为中的作用。利用结构平衡理论,本文研究了两个敌对帮派i和j与第三帮派有关的某些三元结构是否与我将对j施加的暴力程度有关。基于多元回归二次分配程序来调整网络中的依赖结构,结果表明,在控制了个体和二元解释后,结构条件是帮派间暴力水平和方向的有力预测因素。结构性失衡表明在两国关系中缺乏明显的主导地位,并预示着暴力事件的增加。平衡的结构往往不那么暴力;然而,如果一个帮派希望通过这样做来巩固其主导地位,那么它就会发起暴力。

ABSTRACT Digital vigilantism involves direct online actions of targeted surveillance, dissuasion or punishment, which tend to rely on public denunciation or on an excess of unsolicited attention, and are carried out in the name of justice, order or safety. Drawing on a diversity of case studies, this article seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of its manifestations, addressing both the social practices and digital media dynamics involved. It presents a typology which distinguishes between four ideal types of digital vigilantism: flagging, investigating, hounding and organised leaking.
数字警戒主义是指以正义、秩序或安全的名义进行的直接在线行动,包括有针对性的监视、劝阻或惩罚,这些行动往往依赖于公众谴责或过度的主动关注。本文利用多种案例研究,试图提供其表现形式的全面图景,解决所涉及的社会实践和数字媒体动态。它提出了一种类型,区分了四种理想的数字警戒:标记、调查、追捕和有组织的泄密。

ABSTRACT There is a tendency to consider covert networks as separate from overt networks. Drawing on data from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we demonstrate that this is not the case and identify how covert and overt networks are mutually constitutive. While most studies of African brokers have relied on network metaphors like ‘Big Men’ and ‘social membranes’, we consider the embeddedness of ‘covert’ networks in ‘overt’ networks explicitly. We perform two analyses on a large original dataset encompassing 396 partially overlapping ego-nets obtained from a hybrid link-tracing design. An ego-net analysis reveals a large degree of homophily and a deep embeddedness of the different networks. A multilevel exponential random graph model fitted to the reconstructed network of a 110-node subset shows that demobilised combatants are the actors likely to broker between armed groups, state forces, and civilian blocs, suggesting their capacity to broker peace or foment war.
摘要:人们倾向于将隐蔽网络与公开网络区分开来。根据刚果民主共和国的数据,我们证明情况并非如此,并确定了隐蔽网络和公开网络是如何相互构成的。虽然大多数对非洲经纪人的研究都依赖于“大人物”和“社交膜”等网络隐喻,但我们明确考虑了“隐蔽”网络在“公开”网络中的嵌入性。我们对一个大型原始数据集进行了两次分析,该数据集包括从混合链路跟踪设计中获得的396个部分重叠的自我网络。自我网络分析揭示了不同网络的高度同质性和深度嵌入性。一个适用于110节点子集重建网络的多级指数随机图模型表明,复员的战斗人员可能是武装团体、国家部队和平民集团之间的中间人,这表明他们有能力促成和平或煽动战争。

Gangs and governance in Russia: the paradox of law and lawlessness 俄罗斯的帮派与治理:法律与无法无天的悖论

ABSTRACT The paper addresses the nature of gang governance. It questions the notion that gangs regulate social and economic transactions and create stable orders in certain territories.

摘要本文论述了帮派治理的本质。它质疑帮派监管社会和经济交易并在某些地区建立稳定秩序的概念。这表明,这些团伙在其领土上表现为“法律”的拥护者的同时,也制造了一种不确定和恐惧的气氛。这些团伙操纵自己的不成文规则,为居民和商人设置陷阱。这些陷阱旨在剥夺非帮派平民的假定权利和身份,并勒索他们的钱财。本文使用施密特的“例外状态”概念和阿甘本的“裸生活”概念来解释帮派是如何运作的。

ABSTRACT The term ‘neomelodic’ defines a pop-folk music genre featuring the mediascape of Naples, Southern Italy, since the late 1980s. Neomelodic songs depict the experiences of lower-class Neapolitan subjects with a preference for those engaging with the Camorra, a powerful criminal organisation that is also a major investor in the local media industries. This article constitutes an exploration of the Camorra-mediated neomelodic milieu of cultural production vis-à-vis the political landscape of the current Neapolitan social peripheries. In so doing, it ethnographically shows how the neomelodic modalities of cultural production mediate and reify local forms of organised crime hegemony vis-à-vis the discursive power of the state. Accordingly, it also demonstrates how such modalities turn the neomelodic industry into a relational infrastructure of subaltern publicity, which engenders political dynamics of personal mobility and social identity construction amid its sponsors, performers, and publics.
摘要“新旋律”一词定义了自20世纪80年代末以来以意大利南部那不勒斯为中心的流行民间音乐流派。新旋律歌曲描绘了那不勒斯下层民众的经历,他们更喜欢与Camorra打交道的人,Camorra是一个强大的犯罪组织,也是当地媒体行业的主要投资者。这篇文章探讨了以卡莫拉为媒介的文化生产新旋律环境,以及当前那不勒斯社会边缘的政治景观。在这样做的过程中,它从人种学的角度展示了文化生产的新旋律模式是如何调解和具体化地方形式的有组织犯罪霸权相对于国家的话语权的。因此,它还展示了这种模式如何将新旋律产业转变为次级宣传的关系基础设施,从而在赞助商、表演者和公众中产生个人流动和社会身份建构的政治动力。
