Organised crime and airports - May 9th 2007
Empirical research suggests that organised crime in the Netherlands is transnational by nature. Of course, a country that presents itself as the Gateway to Europe attracts both legal and illegal trade. Several criminal activities take place in the Netherlands and several facilities are abused for criminal purposes. However, most criminals are not interested whatsoever in generating economic and political power in the Netherlands.
Both for legal and illegal trade, the presence of (both large and small) seaports is highly relevant. The massive flow of goods and people that arrive and leave Europe through airports raises the question how, from a security point of view, the supervision and control on these flows can be guaranteed without too much infringement of the economic interests involved.
Both national and foreign experts will go into this question during the seminar.

Italian Mafia, extortion and deals with the government - february 21st 2007
What do we actually know about the Italian mafia, about extortion and protection? What can we learn from foreign experiences with unorthodox methods of investigation and ways to persuade members of the mafia to co-oporate in the investigation?
On wednesday february 21st 2007 national and international experts share their knowledge about these questions: Antropologist Anton Blok performed research on the social meaning of the mafia on Sicily for several years, Letizia Paoli published an impressive book about contemporary mafia in 2003, Federico Varese about protection / extortion and migration of mafia groups, and Ernesto Savona about Italian experiences with extensive methods of investigation and 'collaborators of justice'.
The seminar will be rounded off by a presentation by professor Fijnout about the weaknesses of Dutch promises to cooperative witnesses, followed by a discussion about what we can learn from experiences from abroad.

East meets West - december 20th 2006
Import/export of organised crime to Eastern-Europe and vice versa
On May 1, 2004 10 new countries from Central and East Europe joined the European Union, on January 1, 2007 two more countries will follow them. This enlargement provided not only new economic possibilities, but also created new opportunities for organized crime. Politicians, journalists and scholars emphasize the fear that West Europe is about to ‘import’ crime from the East Europe. But also West European criminals ‘discover’ new illicit markets and clients in East Europe. How serious is the problem of import/export of organized crime to- and from East Europe? This is the subject which Dutch and East European criminologists will discuss during the present CIROC seminar.
