Our Groups and Networks organise a range of annual events, including summer schools, conferences and workshops, open to all.

Organised Crime
Standing Group
Established 2001 - Number of members: 144
The Standing Group on Organised Crime (SGOC) promotes research on organised crime across disciplinary, regional and professional boundaries. To this end, it offers a number of platforms such as its own website (http://sgocnet.org/), a blog, and diverse social media. Moroever, the SGOC organises Summer-Winter Schools, produces a blog with RUSI's SHOC, The Informer and has recently launched The European Review of Organised Crime, its own peer-reviewed open access journal. During Sections at ECPR General Conferences, it brings together junior and senior experts. It is also frequently involved in the publication of special journal issues and edited books.
It is hoped that the Standing Group will facilitate the development of theoretical approaches as well as in-depth studies of empirical examples, to network members, to create fruitful exchanges between disciplines with a regular flow of information on projects, etc. This Standing Group would also allow researchers to meet on a regular basis and promote an active publication agenda.
The specific aims of this Standing Group are:
SG Journal:
European Review of Organised Crime (Peer review open access on-line journal)
