Content moderation as traffic control
This article investigates online speech governance as a case study of contemporary security practices, focusing on how states have tried to regulate the moderation of digital communication flows. Drawing on governance theories and critical security studies, the study analyzes and compares different regulatory regimes in the United States and Europe. Using a quali-quantitative analysis of seven legislative texts, it identifies three distinct appro…
‘The name of the game’
There is an increasing focus on disruption as a response to cybercrime in criminological and cybersecurity research. This paper seeks to extend existing literature on the police role in relation to cybercrime. The paper is based on a large, international and comparative study on the policing of cybercrime involving 90 interviews with members of law enforcement or policing agencies across three Five Eyes countries. Disruption emerged organically a…
Leaders and Leadership in Criminal Activities
The objective of this article is to conduct a scoping review of existing literature on the subject of leadership within the criminal domain. Drawing from theoretical models used to explain leadership in social organizations, this study analyzed 71 articles presenting findings or reflections contributing to a better understanding of leaders and leadership within criminal organizations. The results yielded three overarching themes and eight sub-the…
Expertise Integration in Cybercrime Policing
This study examines the internal dynamics and composition of federal police cybercrime units with a focus on civilianization. The study is based on interviews with 56 sworn and civilian (unsworn) members of two federal law enforcement organizations located in two of the Five Eyes countries. Both police organizations had a significant number of civilian employees in their cybercrime units and were in the process of actively recruiting more. The fi…

Advancing research on the Human Factor in Cybercrime
Summarizing the special issue on the human factor in cybercrime
Like aspirin for arthritis”
Research summary Crackdowns are law enforcement strategies based on the principles of deterrence theory, which stipulates that offenders are rational actors who will refrain from crime if perceived risks are higher than perceived benefits. Studies have shown that the effects of police street drug crackdowns are mostly short termed and followed by considerable displacement. In the early 2010s, an important part of illicit drug trades moved online …
Systematic Review
Cognitive assemblages
This article examines algorithmic content moderation, using the moderation of violent extremist content as a specific case. In recent years, algorithms have increasingly been mobilized to perform essential moderation functions for online social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, including limiting the proliferation of extremist speech. Drawing on Katherine Hayles' concept of "cognitive assemblages" and the Critical Security S…
The Human Factor of Cybercrime
This volume highlights the central role of the human factor in cybercrime and the need to develop a more interdisciplinary research agenda to understand better the constant evolution of online harms and craft more effective responses. The term “human factor” is understood very broadly and encompasses individual, institutional, and societal dimensions. It covers individual human behaviors and the social structures that enable collective action by …
Countering Distrust in Illicit Online Networks
The core of this article is a detailed investigation of the dispute resolution system contained within Darkode, an elite cybercriminal forum. Extracting the dedicated disputes section from within the marketplace, where users can report bad behavior and register complaints, we carry out content analysis on these threads. This involves both descriptive statistics across the data set and qualitative analysis of particular posts of interest, leading …
Gated Adaptation during the Cape Town Drought
Illustrating how mentalities govern private responses to risk, this article highlights the importance of mental frames in the selection of adaptation pathways. Scholarship emanating out of the Cape Town drought (2015–2018) has drawn attention to the effect of the drought on public mentalities and their response to the drought, transitional governance arrangements and off-grid responses to secure water supply. This article focusses on what mentali…
Internet et propagande jihadiste
Depuis quelques années, les pouvoirs publics et la société civile rendent Internet responsable de la diffusion de contenus jihadistes. Pour faire face à cette accusation qui a pris une dimension internationale, les États, les entreprises technologiques et la société civile ont mis en place des pratiques et des solutions de contrôle qui se présentent cependant sous l’aspect d’un ensemble fragmenté et dispersé. Nous souhaitons ici rendre compte de …
Mujahideen Mobilization
Drawing on Tilly’s notion of “repertoire of action,” this article shows how the evolution of the global jihadist movement’s communicative action repertoire has increased the potential resonance of its discourse. It foresees the construction of the global jihadist movement’s discourse of mobilization as the result of the evolution of its network of actors, the context in which its communications are undertaken, and its adaptation to new communicat…
Comment (la) Criminologie s’est approprié la police et la sécurité
La littérature scientifique sur la police et la sécurité a beaucoup évolué au cours des dernières décennies, et les articles et numéros spéciaux de la revue Criminologie offrent un important portrait de ce phénomène. Quatre grandes familles d’études ont traversé les 50 dernières années de cette revue alors que se chevauchent des études sur les fondements d’une criminologie critique de la police, son évaluation quantitative, les transformations du…
Criminology in the face of flows
Much has been written about the governance of crime – indeed, this is the thread that has unified criminology. Yet, property crimes and attacks against individuals – traditionally at the core of the discipline – are plummeting in many societies. Meanwhile, harms and harm management emerge outside the narrowness of criminal justice definitions. Despite this, little criminological attention has been paid to the fact that the security of flows incre…

Introduction for special issue policing across organisational boundaries: developments in theory and practice
Nodal governance
This article explores the intricacies of the local security network in France, identifying local security actors (nodes) in order to trace their formal and informal exchanges. We outline the workings of nodal governance by looking at the different groups created informally within the local security network to reveal how resources are exchanged between nodes. Three categories of nodes are identified: a first are the most involved nodes, those who …
Taking stock of networks across the security field
Security network research has grown considerably in the last decade as it has been increasingly recognised that security is pursued through networks of public, private and hybrid actors or nodes. This research deals with local, institutional, international and virtual security networks and includes techniques such as social network analysis and approaches more familiar to organisational theory and management. However, much of the security network…
De la pornographie légale à l’agression sexuelle
La théorie des scripts permet une compréhension séquentielle de la criminalité sous différentes formes. Alors que traditionnellement les chercheurs se sont intéressés aux crimes contre la propriété puis aux crimes contre la personne, la présente étude vise l’analyse d’une nouvelle forme de criminalité, soit celle commise au moyen d’Internet. L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner, à partir d’une recension des écrits scientifiques, la manière do…
Darkode
This article explores the social and market dynamics of Darkode, an invitation-only cybercrime forum that was dismantled by the FBI in July 2015 and was described by a U.S. Attorney as "the most sophisticated English-speaking forum for criminal computer hackers in the world." Based on a leaked database of 4,788 discussion threads, we examine the selection process through which 344 potential new members introduced themselves to the community in or…
The ecology of trust among hackers
Malicious hackers profit from the division of labour among highly skilled associates. However, duplicity and betrayal form an intrinsic part of their daily operations. This article examines how a community of hackers uses an automated reputation system to enhance trust among its members. We analyse 449,478 feedbacks collected over 27 months that rate the trustworthiness of 29,985 individuals belonging to the largest computer hacking forum. Only a…
Statistiques et menaces numériques
Considérée comme la forme de criminalité du XXI e siècle, la cybercriminalité est un phénomène complexe. L'écosystème de la cybersécurité doit répondre à un large éventail de menaces numériques dont les causes et les impacts sont rarement très bien compris. Les données et les statistiques sur la problématique sont innombrables, accentuant ainsi la confusion sur la compréhension. Cet article a pour objectif de comparer la conceptualisation de la c…
Les liens faibles du crime en ligne
Le dilemme de la confiance auquel sont confrontés les délinquants en ligne est souvent sous-estimé par ceux qui étudient les transformations que la révolution numérique a provoquées sur la criminalité. Pourtant, dans un contexte où une diversité d'expertises techniques et organisationnelles doit converger afin de mener des projets lucratifs, les liens de confiance jouent un rôle déterminant permettant d'écarter les partenaires à la fiabilité dout…
Security in the age of networks
Using the literature on the networked society as a starting point, this article argues that security can also be conceptualized as being produced by various networks of actors—public and private. This approach eschews the usual debate between those who defend the pre‐eminence of the state (general interest) and those in favour of a plural mode of security production (market‐oriented) to focus instead on the shared complex morphology that characte…
The social network of hackers
Social researchers are facing more and more challenges as criminal networks are expanding in size and moving to the Internet. Many efforts are currently under way to enhance the technical capabilities of researchers working in the field of cybercrimes. Rather than focusing on the technical tools that could enhance research performance, this article focuses on a specific field that has demonstrated its use in the study of criminal networks: social…

Knowledge Workers or “Knowledge” Workers?Jean-Paul Brodeur and Benoit Dupont are both researchers at the International Centre for Comparative Criminology
This paper focuses on the role of knowledge in policing and questions the application of the notion of network to describe police organizations in themselves or in relationship with each other. First, the concepts of knowledge and of network are critically assessed for their own. Second, their applicability to policing is examined in respect to criminal investigation, the handling of police informants, high (or political) policing, and counterter…

Reputation in a dark network of online criminals
This paper focuses on criminals who could easily be labelled as entrepreneurs and who deal in compromised computer systems. Known as botmasters, these individuals use their technical skills to take over and control personal, business and governmental computers. These networks of hijacked computers are known as botnets in the security industry. With this massive computing power, these criminals can send large amounts of spam, attack web servers or…
Private security regimes
There is as much diversity within the private security industry as there are differences between public and private security providers. Whereas comparisons of the two modes of delivery have kept criminologists and economists fairly busy over the years, internal variations have not attracted the same level of interest. In the current environment, binary classifications such as the public/private security dichotomy might be too generic to capture t…
Police work in international peace operation environments
Deployment of police officers on international United Nations peace operations is still a marginal topic addressed only by transnational police scholars. In this paper, based on interviews conducted with Canadian police officers who participated in the United Nation Mission for Stabilization in Haiti, we focus on how participants negotiate the transposition of a ‘home grown’ constabulary ethos in order to provide effective police work in such tra…

La régulation du cybercrime comme alternative à la judiciarisation
Les botnets, ou réseaux d’ordinateurs compromis par des pirates informatiques, représentent à l’heure actuelle la menace criminelle la plus sérieuse, servant de support à la fraude bancaire, aux attaques distribuées par déni de service (DDoS), ou encore à la fraude au clic. Au cours des dernières années, deux approches distinctes ont été privilégiées pour combattre ces botnets : d’une part, les services de police ont procédé à l’arrestation forte…
Not always a happy ending
The deployment of civilian police in UN peacekeeping operations represents a significant commitment for many police organisations, especially in decentralised political systems such as Canada where municipal and provincial police services are involved. While these missions attract large numbers of highly motivated officers, their selection, deployment and return are fraught with organisational challenges that are underestimated or ignored by the …

Urban Security, from Nodes to Networks
S'appuyant sur le cadre théorique de la gouvernance nodale, cet article cherche à établir l'utilité d'échanges plus approfondis entre diverses approches disciplinaires pour étudier la sécurité urbaine. Nous suggérons notamment la mise en œuvre d'une démarche analytique plus robuste incorporant des techniques quantitatives et qualitatives qui peuvent à la fois tenir compte des initiatives émanant de la base (les citoyens) et du sommet (les dirigea…

La coévolution du « vol d’identité » et des systèmes de paiement
Dans un article devenu un classique de la criminologie, Edwin Sutherland soulignait dès 1940 les bénéfices réciproques que pourraient tirer les économistes et les criminologues d’une meilleure intégration de leurs connaissances. Bien que son invitation à l’interdisciplinarité porte avant tout sur le crime en col blanc, d’autres formes de délinquance se prêtent également particulièrement bien à une telle démarche, au premier rang desquelles figure…
Gouvernance de la sécurité et capital
L’objectif de cet article est de mettre en lumière les rationalités du gestionnaire de la sécurité privée au sein du champ de la sécurité à Montréal. Quarante-cinq entrevues ont été ainsi analysées à l’aide de la métaphore du capital pour dégager ses différentes stratégies de conquête du champ. Alors que nos données montrent clairement que les gestionnaires de la sécurité privée ont acquis suffisamment de ressources pour ne pas dépendre excessive…
Saisir la sécurité privée
L’accroissement substantiel de l’industrie de la sécurité a profondément changé la manière dont la sécurité est gouvernée aujourd’hui. Une récente proposition législative de la province de Québec sur la sécurité privée – Loi sur la sécurité privée – nous a servi de point de départ pour répondre à deux objectifs, soit tenter de définir l’objet « sécurité privée » et comprendre les liens qu’entretient cette sécurité privée avec l’État et la police.…
Les morphologies de la sécurité après le 11 septembre
Les attentats du 11 septembre ont mis en lumière la capacité d’action et de destruction des réseaux terroristes et l’impuissance des institutions étatiques traditionnelles verticales face à cette nouvelle forme de menace. L’une des solutions proposées par les praticiens de la sécurité est de recourir à l’organisation en réseau afin de rendre plus efficace la lutte contre le terrorisme et le crime organisé. Cependant, comme nous le montrerons dans…
Assessing the Capability of Intensive Police Programmes to Prevent Severe Road Accidents
In order to prevent road fatalities, police organizations all across the world have implemented various enforcement programmes (random breath testing, sobriety checkpoints, random road watch, photo-radar, mixed programmes and red-light cameras) that are designed to deter deviant driving behaviours, which significantly increase the risks of serious accidents. Our systematic review assesses the effect of tough police interventions. It appears that …
The new face of police governance in Australia
Over the past twenty years, Australian police services have been exposed to the scrutiny of royal commissions, which have uncovered a disturbing pattern of corruption and inefficiency. The media have also introduced the public to the most unpalatable aspects of police culture. At the same time, many liberal societies have experienced a political and social paradigm shift: the welfare state has become discredited as the preferred form of governmen…
Évaluer ce que fait la police
Les réformes administratives ayant touché les services publics aux cours des vingt dernières années mettent résolument l’accent sur des modes de gestion entrepreneuriaux, qui privilégient les résultats et accordent une plus grande liberté quant aux moyens mis en oeuvre pour les atteindre. Les services de police n’ont pas échappé à cette tendance et, malgré les difficultés structurelles liées à l’évaluation des performances policières, de nouveaux…

La technicisation du travail policier
Parmi les services publics, la police est certainement l’un de ceux qui ont été affectés le plus profondément par le développement des nouvelles technologies. Pourtant, ce phénomène reste relativement peu étudié et les implications sur l’organisation du travail policier de tels changements ont rarement fait l’objet d’une réflexion systématique. Cet article se propose donc de faire le point sur les travaux existants et de soulever un certain nombr…

Budgetary control of Australian police services and the new governance of security
Through the example of the Australian police services, this article examines the impact of the New Public Management tools on strengthening administrative accountability. Governments, faced with increasing social demand for security, have launched into political auctions on the themes of police activity and social control. Relationships between the authorities and the police administrators have been redefined, mainly through more rigorous budgeta…

Les polices au Québec
Fortement influencées par les innovations canadiennes, états-uniennes ou anglaises, mais constamment soucieuses de les acclimater à leur environnement politique et social spécifique, les polices québécoises représentent une plateforme privilégiée d’échanges entre les mondes anglophone et francophone sur les questions de sécurité publique : elles ont su se remettre en question face à une population de plus en plus diversifiée, dont la tolérance po…
Democracy, Society and the Governance of Security
The promotion of security is no longer a state monopoly. It is dispersed and takes place through the practices of states, corporations, non-governmental actors and community-based organizations. But what do we know about the ways in which 'security' is thought about and promoted in this pluralized field of delivery? Are democratic values being advanced and protected, or threatened and compromised? Wood and Dupont bring together a team of renowned…

The Nodal Structure of International Police Cooperation
Facing sophisticated, resistant, and highly motivated terrorist and trans-national crime threats and numerous difficulties inherent in countermeasures, law enforcement and security providers have shifted from a bureaucratic and hierarchical approach toward a networking morphology. This trend more adequately equalizes the capacities of law enforcement authorities to combat fluid and flexible criminal networks. This article highlights new cooperati…

A coevolução do “roubo de identidade” e dos sistemas de pagamento
Em um artigo tornado um clássico da criminologia, Edwin Sutherland sublinhava desde 1940 os benefícios recíprocos que poderiam obter os economistas e os criminólogos de uma melhor integração de seus conhecimentos. Mesmo que seu convite à interdisciplinaridade tenha por objeto o crime do colarinho branco, outras formas de delinqüência sustentam particularmente tal solicitação, dentre elas o “roubo de identidade”. Após ter examinado na primeira par…
