Criminal networks are frequently at risk of disruption through arrest and interorganizational violence. Difficulties in designing empirical studies of criminal network recovery, however, have problematized research into network responses to disruption. In this study, we evaluate criminal network resilience by examining network recovery from disruption in an array of different criminal networks and across different disruption strategies. We use an agent‐based model to evaluate how criminal networks recover from disruption. Our results reveal the vulnerabilities and time to recovery of numerous criminal organizations, and through them, we identify which disruption strategies are most effective at damaging various criminal networks.

犯罪网络安全：基于代理的评估网络弹性的方法*

犯罪网络经常面临被逮捕和组织间暴力破坏的风险。但是，在设计犯罪网络恢复的经验研究方面存在困难，这使网络对中断响应的研究成为问题。在本研究中，我们通过检查从一系列不同犯罪网络中以及跨不同破坏策略的破坏中恢复的网络来评估犯罪网络的弹性。我们使用基于代理的模型来评估犯罪网络如何从破坏中恢复。我们的结果揭示了众多犯罪组织的脆弱性和恢复时间，并且通过它们，我们确定了哪种破坏策略在破坏各种犯罪网络方面最有效。
