“…Different to other measures of harm assessment, the OCHA method emphasizes the importance of understanding the process of an OC activity and decoupling it into its different stages. The use of crime scripts to map the process of the OC activity allows a 'more objective assessment and understanding' of an organized crime activity (Tompson and Chainey, 2011, p. 179) given the methodical process it entails, and helps to tackle the inherent complexity of organized crime (Brayley et al, 2011;Savona et al, 2013;Chainey and Alonso Berbotto, 2021).…”

“…Intelligence about OCGs recorded by national or regional police agencies would have been useful for the current study, but access to these were not possible for this research because of the sensitive and restricted nature of these data. However, use of these data can also be limited because often these data do not contain information about the nature of the criminal activity, such as how the activity is committed, the roles that individuals perform, the equipment that is used, and the connected crimes that are committed across the main criminal activity (Chainey and Alonso Berbotto, 2021). Gathering information about the incidence of connected crimes associated with the drugs trade has the added challenge of attribution of causality (Singleton et al, 2018).…”

The increasing call for harm-focused approaches warrants a method for assessing the harm of organized crime. A harm assessment of organized crime can be of use to law enforcement agencies for prioritizing efforts and designing policies that aim to counter organized crimes based on the harm they cause. It can also be used by other institutions that can intervene and support law enforcement indirectly in preventing and counteracting organized crime. However, assessing the harm of organized crime entails dealing with the complex structure of intertwined criminal activities and addressing the fact that organized crime groups commit other crimes to support their main criminal activity. This research introduces a novel method for Organized Crime Harm Assessment (OCHA method) and demonstrates it with the application to the case of heroin trade into and within England and Wales. The challenges of applying the OCHA method are identified and discussed, as well as its limitations, contributions, and opportunities for future research.

“…Furthermore, free passage of drugs to key drug markets like passage through the border with the United States offers a considerable advantage to any DTO, especially if such an arrangement excludes other DTOs from doing so (Fuerte Celis et al 2019). Finally, (illegal) extraction of oil or gas from pipelines provides additional financial resources that can help DTOs increase their income (Berbotto and Chainey 2021;Jones and Sullivan 2019). As DTOs mainly seek economic gains (Phillips 2015), these potential logistical, tactical, and economic advantages may incite DTOs to fight one another for monopolistic control.…”

This article helps understand why locations close to strategic infrastructure to transport illegal drugs (seaports, airports, highways, and US ports of entry along the Mexico-US border) or to increase income (pipelines) experience different levels of violence due to DTOs operations. Our theory breaks down the impact of the geographical distance to these facilities on violence into two effects. The first effect is produced by the level of (violent) competition among DTOs, measured by the number of DTOs employing violence. We report that greater proximity to the U.S. ports of entry along the Mexico-US border, ports, and airports furthers the number of competitors, and such increase boosts violence. The second effect shapes the intensity of competition among DTOs. Reductions in the costs of excluding competing DTOs from using the facility could trigger greater confrontation among DTOs. We confirm the importance of this second effect in relation to ports and the U.S. ports of entry along the Mexico-US border.
