TOCAS Q&A with Partnership for Conflict, Crime & Security Research

In mid-June, the TOCAS team, Professor Christian Bueger, Dr Scott Edwards, and Professor Tim Edmunds, sat down for a Q&A discussion to share their work on transnational organised crime at sea with the Partnership for Conflict, Crime & Security Research (PaCCS).

PaCCS was created in order to respond to the challenge of addressing threats to security through a research community, and presently focuses on the core areas of conflict, cybersecurity, and transnational organised crime. TOCAS has received funding through the Transnational organised crime: Deepening and broadening our understanding 2018 call from PaCCS and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)

The Q&A focused on the work that the TOCAS team is currently undertaking to better understand blue crime and the responses to it, and addressed questions such as why should we pay more attention to #crime at sea? How is the #covid19 pandemic transforming blue crime?
