What Are the Challenges in Studying Organized Crime from an Epidemiological Perspective?
Studying organized crime poses several challenges. Firstly, data collection can be difficult due to the clandestine nature of criminal activities. Victims may be reluctant to report crimes due to fear of retaliation, stigma, or mistrust of authorities. Additionally, there is often a lack of standardized definitions and measurements for organized crime, making it challenging to compare data across different studies and regions.
