- 01H43DH5NSXDXJGHZM7E86CYHT abstract "Traditional views on crime describe delinquency as a predominantly male phenomenon. Women are generally less common in criminal organizations and are responsible for a minority of organized crime, which is often referred to by the term crime gender gap. According to more recent research, the number of women in organized crime is rising slightly, or is at least becoming more visible, and women are taking on specific key roles within the organization. The latter leads some researchers to arguing that the crime gender gap is closing. A social network approach is interesting when it comes to organized crime groups because this type of crime differs from other types due to its structure of cooperation between actors and the importance of social relations. SNA research studying women in organized crime groups shows, for example, that men and women differ in terms of their social embeddedness of crime and women have more family connections than men. In this study we examine the role and position of women on the Belgian synthetic drug market. International research shows that a minority of women is present on all echelons of the drug supply chain. Men occupy key and leadership positions and women are either seen as vulnerable victims of the illicit trade or as emancipated equals of the male leaders. However, previous work has not adequately addressed the role and position of women within illicit drug supply networks. Therefore, we address this phenomenon starting from two case studies of Belgian synthetic drug supply groups. We study the number of women within this male-dominated network, the roles and positions of women within this network, and the connections of women with others in the network. We use the software program Gephi to visualize the network and for basic descriptive measures. For deeper analyses, we use R and SPSS to describe network positions, connections and roles. We compare these two case studies of illicit synthetic drug production and trafficking in Belgium to international SNA research and consider whether previous findings are confirmed or contradicted.".
