海上跨国有组织犯罪日益受到国际社会的关注。然而，尽管它很重要，但这一概念仍然不确定，也存在争议。这种模棱两可导致了一种倾向，即侧重于海盗或非法捕鱼等个别挑战，而不是各问题之间的协调和协同作用，阻碍了协调一致的国际政策反应。关于这一术语本身的辩论仍在继续，它包括和排除了哪些非法活动，以及如何以既承认这一概念的多样性又为综合应对其带来的挑战提供基础的方式对这些活动进行有意义的概念化。在本文中，我们通过对海上跨国有组织犯罪进行系统的概念化和分析来解决这一空白。我们的目标是为今后对不同类型的蓝色犯罪的调查提供坚实的基础，追踪它们的不同特点，确定它们是如何相互交织的，并考虑可以建立什么样的协同作用来应对它们。通过这样做，我们组织了关于蓝色犯罪学和海上安全的新的学术和政策讨论，为从业者和分析师提供了一个导航这一复杂问题的新框架。
Transnational organised crime at sea is a growing international concern. However, and despite its importance, the concept remains uncertain and contested. This ambiguity has led to a tendency to focus on individual challenges such as piracy or illegal fishing, rather than convergencies and synergies between and across issues, and has stymied a concerted international policy response. Debate continues over the term itself, what illicit activities it incorporates and excludes, and how these can be meaningfully conceptualised in ways that both recognise the diverse nature of the concept yet also provide a basis for an integrated response to the challenges it presents. In this paper, we address this lacuna by providing a systemic conceptualisation and analysis of transnational organised crime at sea. Our goal is to provide a firm basis for future enquiries on the different types of blue crime, to trace their distinct characteristics and identify how they intersect, and to consider what kinds of synergies can be built to respond to them. In so doing, we organise the nascent academic and policy discourse on blue criminology and maritime security to provide a new framework for navigating this complex issue for practitioners and analysts alike.
