Convergence Between Migrant Smuggling and Trafficking of Goods
There is debate about the convergence of migrant smuggling and transnational trafficking of goods, the threat it poses to society, and its evolution in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, empirical evidence is limited. We tested for convergence using a methodology based on natural language processing. Results show that convergence occurs, but it is rare and episodic. Exploratory results suggest that COVID-19 containment policies had no im…
Does Human Smuggling Converge with Other Transnational Crimes in North Africa and the Mediterranean Area
To mask or not to mask
Face mask use by the general public for limiting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is controversial, though increasingly recommended, and the potential of this intervention is not well understood. We develop a compartmental model for assessing the community-wide impact of mask use by the general, asymptomatic public, a portion of which may be asymptomatically infectious. Model simulations, using data relevant to COVID-19 dynamics in the US stat…
Estimating the revenues of sexual exploitation

The findings suggest that the revenues are not equally distributed across regions since they depend on different criminal opportunities and levels of demand
