Analysing and disrupting outlaw motorcycle gangs in Australia

该项目旨在揭示澳大利亚OMCG共同犯罪网络的结构和社会动态。非法摩托车帮派（OMCG）在澳大利亚和国际上造成了重大的社会和经济危害。该项目将使用创新的多方法方法，将社交网络分析与访谈和焦点小组相结合，产生关于OMCG共同犯罪的新知识。预期成果包括更深入地了解澳大利亚各地的OMCG犯罪活动，并完善有关犯罪集团共同犯罪的理论发展。该项目将导致改善政策，立法和警务实践，以防止OMCG犯罪，并以更具成本效益的方式拆除OMCG犯罪网络。

This project aims to reveal the structure and social dynamics of co-offending networks by OMCGs in Australia. Outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMCGs) cause significant social and economic harm in Australia and internationally. The project will generate new knowledge about OMCG co-offending using an innovative multimethod approach combining social network analysis with interviews and focus groups. Expected outcomes include a deeper understanding of OMCG criminal activity across Australia and refined theory development about co-offending in criminal groups. The project will lead to improved policy, legislation and policing practice to prevent OMCG crime and dismantle OMCG criminal networks in more cost-effective ways.
