This proposal reflects the AHRC's Research Networking Scheme's Highlight Notice for 'cross-disciplinary research networks exploring emerging areas of cross-cultural enquiry'. More specifically, this proposal is located within the RCUK's Global Uncertainties Programme (now the Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research) and particularly addresses the 'transnational organised crime' theme of the Highlight Notice. We propose an innovative and original collaborative research network that will bring together academics, practitioners and policymakers with expertise in the areas of organised crime and corruption, and the interdependencies between these, in the context of criminal and non-criminal enterprise in domestic and international commerce in OECD countries. The Network will integrate the law and criminology research expertise of the coordinators with that of other arts and humanities disciplines (e.g. philosophy, film studies, political science/studies, economics and business) and the sciences (e.g. computational science, the information and communications technology field) and will engage with academic and non-academic participants from several jurisdictions to ensure the cross-fertilisation of knowledge and cross-cultural, comparative insights. The substantive focus of the proposal is on (1) the social and criminal organisation of corrupt relations, practices and processes within criminal and non-criminal commercial enterprises that operate both domestically and transnationally across OECD countries, and on (2) law, theory and practice on how we can understand, predict/detect and act against/intervene with such phenomena. The proposal brings together two often discrete research areas, those of 'organised crime' and 'corruption' and is organised around three complementary streams: - Stream I: Identifying and understanding corrupt activities within/by non-criminal commercial enterprise (i.e. corruption within/by legitimate businesses per se); - Stream II: identifying and understanding corrupt activities within/by criminal commercial enterprise (i.e. corruption within/by formally legitimate businesses that are controlled by organised crime groups, and also corruption by/within entirely criminal entities, like drug cartels); and,- Stream III: Identifying and understanding corrupt activities at the intersections of criminal and non-criminal commercial enterprises. It is anticipated that the research network will have notable scientific and social impact, advancing theoretical, conceptual and methodological insights into corruption in (non-)criminal commercial enterprise and having practical use for state (e.g. law enforcement agencies) and non-state (e.g. business compliance) responses. For instance, the network will result in evidence-led and practice-relevant research, informed by the needs and experiences of policymakers and practitioners, in the areas of organised crime and corruption - these are key challenges in establishing security and protecting business interests in the UK but also in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice as envisaged by the European Union.It moves beyond the traditional academic focus on discrete causes and responses, and makes new connections between economics insights, criminology, philosophy and law. It will also facilitate ideas for the development of ICT tools which may minimise corruption, informed by criminological research, cultural studies and economics.

这一建议反映了AHRC的研究网络计划的重点通知“跨学科研究网络探索跨文化调查的新兴领域”。更具体地说，这一建议是在RCUK的全球Understanding方案（现在的冲突，犯罪和安全研究伙伴关系），特别是解决“跨国有组织犯罪”的重点通知的主题。我们提出了一个创新和原创的合作研究网络，将汇集学者，从业人员和政策制定者在有组织犯罪和腐败领域的专业知识，以及这些之间的相互依存关系，在经合组织国家的国内和国际商业中的犯罪和非犯罪企业的背景下。该网络将把协调员的法律和犯罪学研究专门知识与其他艺术和人文学科的专门知识结合起来（例如哲学、电影研究、政治学/研究、经济学和商业）和科学（例如计算科学，信息和通信技术领域），并将与来自多个司法管辖区的学术和非学术参与者接触，以确保跨-知识的丰富和跨文化的比较洞察力。该提案的实质性重点是（1）在经合组织国家国内和跨国经营的犯罪和非犯罪商业企业内腐败关系、做法和过程的社会和犯罪组织，以及（2）关于我们如何理解、预测/发现和采取行动打击/干预此类现象的法律、理论和实践。该建议将两个往往互不相关的研究范畴，即“有组织罪行”和“贪污”，结合起来，并围绕三个相辅相成的方向展开：-方向一：识别和了解非刑事商业企业内部或由非刑事商业企业进行的贪污活动（即合法企业内部/合法企业本身的腐败）; -第二类：查明和了解犯罪商业企业内部/通过犯罪商业企业进行的腐败活动（即由有组织犯罪集团控制的正式合法企业内部/所进行的腐败，以及贩毒集团等完全犯罪实体的腐败行为）;以及-第三类：查明和了解犯罪和非犯罪商业企业交叉点的腐败活动。预计该研究网络将产生显著的科学和社会影响，推进对（非）犯罪商业企业腐败的理论、概念和方法见解，并对国家（如执法机构）和非国家（如企业合规）对策具有实际用途。例如，该网络将导致以证据为导向和与实践相关的研究，了解政策制定者和从业者在有组织犯罪和腐败领域的需求和经验-这些是在英国建立安全和保护商业利益的关键挑战，也是在自由领域。安全与正义，由欧盟设想。它超越了传统的学术重点离散的原因和反应，并使经济学的见解，犯罪学，哲学与法律它还将促进开发信息和通信技术工具的想法，这些工具可以在犯罪学研究，文化研究和经济学的基础上最大限度地减少腐败。
