Global homicides falling as organised crime turns to profitable networks
Original: Homicides fall as organised crime grows more profitable – and networked
A United Nations report finds homicide rates declining worldwide even as organised crime becomes increasingly profitable and interconnected. The study suggests criminal groups are shifting away from lethal violence toward lucrative illicit economies such as drug trafficking and cybercrime, operating through transnational networks. The findings are prompting debate among policymakers on how law enforcement should adapt to this evolving model of crime.
Why now: A new UN report reveals a counterintuitive drop in global homicides alongside the growing profitability and reach of organised crime.
