As criminal networks increasingly operate across both physical and digital domains, researchers face new methodological challenges and opportunities in data collection, analysis, and interpretation. We invite papers that present innovative methodological approaches, discuss research design challenges, or propose new frameworks for digital investigation of organized crime. Both theoretical contributions and empirical case studies with strong methodological and theoretical framework focus are welcome. ‼️ Find our session here and submit your abstract: https://lnkd.in/dx42YP4u ☀️ Join us in Naples, Italy!! 📆 22-25 September 2025
