Addressing organised and subversive crime has become a societal priority. Criminal networks are skilled at exploiting legal systems to carry out illegal activities. With a lot of money and a readiness to use violence, they threaten public safety and the rule of law. The Organised Crime research group investigates these dynamics and explores effective responses.
Organised and subversive crime often blends legal and illegal activities, such as smuggling drugs through legitimate businesses, laundering money via salons, intimidating officials or resorting to violence against adversaries. Such actions endanger individuals and organisations while undermining public trust and societal foundations.
