“…The limited literature on cyber-assisted organized crimes focuses precisely on various trafficking activities of organized crime collectivities. Examples include, among others, international research on counterfeit medicine trafficking (Di Nicola et al 2015 ; Hall and Antonopoulos 2016 ; Baratto 2020 ), smuggling of migrants and asylum seekers (Di Nicola et al 2017 , 2019 ; Antonopoulos et al 2020 ) and trafficking for the purpose of exploitation, particularly sexual exploitation (Di Nicola et al 2013 , 2017 ; Antonopoulos et al 2020 ). Fraser’s ( 2016 ) study of human trafficking and social media conducted in twenty-one developing countries also revealed how traffickers rely on new technologies to recruit and communicate with clients, even when they are geographically distant.…”

As technology has changed people’s lives, criminal phenomena are also constantly evolving. Today’s digital society is changing the activities of organized crime and organized crime groups. In the digital society, very different organized crime groups coexist with different organizational models: from online cybercrime to traditional organized crime groups to hybrid criminal groups in which humans and machines ‘collaborate’ in new and close ways in networks of human and non-human actors. These criminal groups commit very different organized crime activities, from the most technological to the most traditional, and move from online to offline. They use technology and interact with computers for a variety of purposes, and the distinction between the physical and virtual dimensions of organized crime is increasingly blurred. These radical developments do not seem to be accompanied by a new criminological theoretical interpretive framework, with a definition of organized crime that is able to account for the changes that digital society brings to organized crime and generate modern research hypotheses. This article proposes the concept of digital organized crime and the spectrum theory of digital organized crimes, to be embedded within a current, revised sociological theory of the organization of crime and deviance in digital society (a new theory of digital criminal organizing) and argues that the study of digital organized crime will increasingly require a digital sociology of organized crime. Criminologists are called upon to work in this direction.

This chapter positions script analysis as a useful tool to help security practitioners design and upgrade preventive and protective controls in an organisational context. It provides a brief introduction to the script concept and its key attributes and presents the approach as a pragmatic means to analyse the process that offenders go through in the commission of a crime, to pinpoint opportunities for preventive intervention and to identify a fuller range of risk mitigating measures to choose from. In addition to providing some documented examples of how the approach has been applied in practice, it highlights some recent advances in script analysis and some suggested areas for improvement.24
