General overview

Information sharing, reports, databases, articles and exchange of knowledge are fundamental to raise awareness on organised crime and corruption issues. There are many different types of illegal activities managed by organised criminal groups and above all by white collars, which affect our fundamental human rights.

Documents

It is really important to read, learn and improve our knowledge on the different analysis, researches and investigations of both institutional and academic entities which deepen everyday the developments and challenges of fighting against corruption and organised crime. As CHANCE, we have started to collect some official documents and we have created a dedicated page, which could become an important archive of data, updates on different aspects of the criminal phenomena. At the same time, we have developed many new deliverables, linked to our projects, which can be useful for improving the social prevention of this phenomena.
