#GivingTuesday

Reader,

For 13 years we have been informing on the criminal actors, dynamics and economies of the region, providing bespoke risk analysis, diagnostics, and opportunities for positive intervention. We need your help to expand our impact. Please donate today, every little bit helps.

What Makes Us Different

Shaping the Debate

Each year, we hold conferences, launch investigations, conduct workshops, convene seminars and support local stakeholders to deepen the conversation around organized crime.

Virtual Newsroom

Our newsroom team is like no other – global, multilingual, and well-versed in the dynamics of organized crime. Although our main offices are in Washington, DC, and Medellín, Colombia, InSight Crime has personnel positioned in a half-dozen countries across the Americas and at any one time is doing research with multiple contributors in numerous investigations.

Academic Alliances

We partner with leading academic institutions across the region, such as American University’s Center for Latin American and Latino Studies (CLALS), which has sponsored joint research initiatives, and the Universidad del Rosario, in Bogotá, which is home to our Colombian Organized Crime Observatory.

Monitoring

We scour hundreds of news outlets, academic journals,  governmental and non-governmental reports from across the Americas, daily. The information collected forms the building blocks of the most comprehensive database on organized crime in the region.

Go-To Resource

We continually develop and update profiles of countries, criminal organizations and personalities from around the region. Highly organized with infographics and detailed maps, our profiles are a go-to resource for journalists, academics, civil society leaders, government officials, and others seeking to deepen their understanding of criminal dynamics in the Americas.

On the Ground

Our investigators are in the field, from major cities to remote rural corners, reporting on the latest criminal dynamics, actors and hotspots, and gathering data to track the fast-changing illicit economies.
