Disrupting resilient criminal networks through data analysis: The case of Sicilian Mafia (2020)
Journal Article
Cavallaro, L., Ficara, A., De Meo, P., Fiumara, G., Catanese, S., Bagdasar, O., Song, W., & Liotta, A. (2020). Disrupting resilient criminal networks through data analysis: The case of Sicilian Mafia. PLOS ONE, 15(8), Article e0236476. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0236476

Compared to other types of social networks, criminal networks present particularly hard challenges, due to their strong resilience to disruption, which poses severe hurdles to Law-Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). Herein, we borrow methods and tools from... Read More about Disrupting resilient criminal networks through data analysis: The case of Sicilian Mafia.

Monitoring Users’ Behavior: Anti-Immigration Speech Detection on Twitter (2020)
Journal Article
