Observatory on Crime Rosaria Conte Nicola Lettieri Mario Paolucci Laboratory of Agent Based Social Simulation http://labss.istc.cnr.it
What Systematicstudy of phenomenathatarouseserious social alarm(i.e. organizedcrime, cyber-crime, corruption, financialfraud, drug and armstrafficking, lowcompliance)
Why Costs of corruption: from $800 billion to $2 trillion in current U.S. dollars (source: United Nations, World Bank) Cost of war on terrorism in US since 9/11: over $1 trillion (Source: US Congress Research Service report) – March 2011 http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/NEWS/0,,contentMDK:20190295~menuPK:34457~pagePK:34370~piPK:34424~theSitePK:4607,00.html http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL33110.pdf Cost of global drug trade: over $321,6 billion (Source: United Nations report, 2005) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_drug_trade http://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/features/GTD-Data-Rivers.aspx

What for • Support decision makers in the public and in the private sector
An innovative approach of crime... • The Observatory will be built upon an innovative scientific view and technological instruments • Increasingspread and prosperity of organized crime systems • Organized crime systems and corruptioncontribute to worldwidewealth! • Criminal activities are interdependent and connected with low compliance phenomenaaffected by cognitive, cultural and social dynamics. • Westillneed a theoryabout the propserity and spread of crime. • Criminal systems like Extortion Racket Systems can be studied as systems establishing a “social order”, based on credible dominance relationships • Effective deterrence • Culture of honor
The Observatory: The Observatory will apply innovative approach characterized as: Cross-methodological whereby real data are compared with simulation-based ones Interdisciplinary benefiting from the joint effort of a consortium including sociologists, political scientists, criminologists, sociologists of law, legal scientists, economists, computer scientists, mathematicians, analytical philosophers and game theorists, as well as cognitive scientists. Computational supplying computational laboratories where performing what-if analyses, testing hypotheses, and addressing policy design issues. Agent-based investigating and making explicit the socio-cognitive and behavioral individual mechanisms inducing people to low compliance.
Aboutcorruption… Mostindexes (Ci,Ti etc.) are subjective! How to do data/reality mining? Where to put sensor? Major scientificproblems.
Forecast social failures and crime dynamics in interaction with other social phenomena illegal systems flourish in typologies, frequency, spreading, and related costs. Can we predict the next step in crime spread/flow?
Help coordinate and design law-making, policy modelling… • Global threatsneed global answers • Criminalactivities are oftenpunished and regulated in different ways in differenteuropeancountries… (PETRA RESKI) • European and nationalpoliciesneedcoordination and harmonizationatdifferentlevels (SEMIRA PROJECT):
Crime Observatory… howitshould work.
