A response to "The Mobility of Criminal Groups" : a reflection in light of recent research on the functional diversification of a Camorra clan / by Paolo Campana. : PS14-2/2011E-PDF

The present discussion paper will briefly review the push and pull framework outlined by Morselli et al. (2010), according to which two separate types of factors underlie the mobility of criminal groups: (a) push factors, which ‘refer to a force which drives criminal groups away from a setting’; and (b) pull factors, which ‘refer to forces which draw criminal groups to a setting’. The paper shall identify and address some limitations of the framework, and present some suggestions for the development of an enhanced version. The push and pull framework will then be applied to a recent case study on the movement of a Camorra crime group from Campania (Italy) to Scotland and the Netherlands. The concluding section summarizes the findings and provides law enforcement officials and policy makers with a series of recommendations.
