Big Data, Violence, and the Economy
Washington, D.C.: The Diplomatic Courier is pleased to feature "Big Data Analytics and the Economics of Organized Violence," by Gary Schiffman, President and CEO of Giant Oak, a data analytics company, and professor at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, in Volume 6, Issue 6 of the magazine.
"The bottom line is this: like goods and services sold in the licit economy, we see a supply and demand in markets for violence. The market for violence behaves as we would expect it to behave, and therefore we can use technology to apply and build tools to better counter organized violence," an excerpt from Schiffman's article.

"Gary Schiffman draws a number essential conclusions for the law enforcement, military and intelligence communities. In particular, he demands policy makers pay more attention to the need for a hybrid response to emerging and future threats. Though we cannot predict criminal activities, Schiffman emphasizes the importance of social science and behavioral studies," said Ana C. Rold, Editor-in-Chief.
