This article offers some remarks on a few critical issues related to explanation in criminal network research. It first discusses two distinct perspectives networks, namely substantive approach that views networks as form of organisation, and an instrumental one interprets collection nodes attributes. The latter stands at the basis Social Network Analysis. work contends is better suited test hypotheses, it does not assume any structure priori, but derives from data. Moreover, social...
This study explores criminal governance among urban gangs operating in a large European city. It does so by introducing the Crim-Gov questionnaire, novel survey tool purposely designed to systematically capture key governance-related dimensions of groups’ activities, and applying it case London. identifies instances city shows that activities are only carried out subset groups, thus suggesting more complex set skills is required provide governance, particularly beyond illegal markets....
Abstract Nineteen Mediterranean natural soils with a wide range of properties and the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation Development (OECD) artificial soil were used to assess influence on results avoidance reproduction tests carried out collembolan species Folsomia candida . Compared soils, OECD was mostly rejected by individuals when offered in tests, number offspring produced generally lower than one obtained soils. None assessed showed significant behavior. More precisely, only...
Abstract A current challenge in soil ecotoxicology is the use of natural soils as test substrates to increase ecological relevance data. Despite existence six reference (the Euro‐soils), some parallel projects showed that these do not accurately represent diversity European soils. Particularly, Mediterranean are properly represented. To fill this gap, 12 from regions Alentejo, Portugal; Cataluña, Spain; and Liguria, Italy, were selected used reproduction avoidance tests evaluate habitat...
Human smuggling is a form of illegal trade in which the commodity an assisted entry into country. While this hardly new phenomenon, evidence points to increased involvement smugglers facilitating these journeys. This has been linked hardening policies developed countries.

Abstract This paper explores how transactions between smugglers and migrants come about in the context of irregular migration. We first offer some theoretical reflections on challenges that such a poses to both parties—smugglers migrants—and point three main conditions under which smuggling take place: illegality, asymmetrical information low trust. Next, we explore strategies alike may employ overcome these challenges. focus broad sets related information-gathering, information-checking...
Abstract The article offers a commentary on the push and pull framework outlined by Morselli, Turcotte Tenti in current issue of this journal. It argues that, when assessing mobility criminal groups, two key aspects deserve better recognition: first, nature movement, namely whether common fund 'headquarters' (including boss) have been shifted from old to new locale; second, group provides some kind goods services or is purely predatory. maintains that both factors may vary according those...
The public discourse on human smuggling into the European Union often evokes presence of a few all-powerful 'Mr Bigs' who are able to 'mastermind' illegal operations. This article takes closer look at recent trends in relation two key routes—the Eastern and Central Mediterranean—with aim identify analytical empirical features markets for services. It shows that these have ability expand considerably over short period time. then argues this is consistent with many competitive enterprises, low...
