Abstract

This chapter reviews a few critical technological developments and reflects both on their trajectory and on the opportunities they harbour for novel forms of cyber-enabled criminality. While the future of organised crime remains forever out of grasp, primarily due to fundamental uncertainties created by the introduction of any new technology and the radical innovation that criminals exhibit, there are sensible aspects that we can consider and learn from. By taking examples from the dark web, blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, this chapter puts forward several new research directions that reflect on the intersection between technology and organised crime. These must prompt researchers to design new studies and engage with novel scholarly explorations; as an academic community, we must consider the ways in which a deeper understanding of organised crime can emerge from how the adoption of new technologies can occur.
