Abstract

Using Social Networking Analysis (SNA) and case studies from Cape Town in abalone trafficking, protection racketeering, and drug trafficking, the presentation analyses criminal enterprise in terms of organised crime that identifies and assumes a position of local power, fulfilling functions often assumed to be provided by the state. Criminal governance emerges within a difficult history of networked “opportunities” prior to democratization and can perhaps be considered as a pre-existing service, hard to eradicate.
