UN reports homicides falling as organised crime grows more networked
Original: Homicides fall as organised crime grows more profitable – and networked

The finding suggests criminal groups are shifting away from violence toward lucrative illicit markets and cross-border networks. The assessment raises questions about whether falling murder statistics truly reflect declining criminal activity worldwide.
Why now: The UN has just published a new assessment linking falling homicide numbers to the changing structure of organised crime.
