If you're new, welcome! If you're not, welcome back! This week we spoke with Martin Bouchard who is a professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Simon Fraser University. We ask Martin about the social nature of gangs and gang members. He tells us why he thinks gangs are a very social and not necessarily anti-social phenomenon. Martin then discusses the network analysis method and why it may be useful for the study of crime. We then discuss a paper Martin wrote discussing the ways in which network analysis can aid in the study of organized crime.
Martin has published in journals such as Journal of Quantitative Criminology, Justice Quarterly, and Global Crime. You can find him on Twitter @MBouchardCrim.
