Criminal Governance and Ecosystems of Local Violence
 

Explain how OCGs, often in collusion with state authorities, establish subnational criminal governance regimes to control local governments, populations, economies, and territories. Assess how OCGs use targeted lethal attacks against social, economic, and political leaders to develop local controls. Document, map, explain and predict the occurrence of these high-profile attacks and explore how they may contribute to establishing different types of local criminal orders.
