What Are the Epidemiological Methods Used to Study Organized Crime?
Epidemiologists utilize various methods to study the impact of organized crime on public health. These methods include surveillance, case-control studies, and cohort studies. Surveillance systems track the incidence and prevalence of health outcomes related to organized crime, while case-control studies compare individuals affected by organized crime to those who are not. Cohort studies follow groups over time to examine the long-term health effects of exposure to organized criminal activities.
