Dear Reader

It's that time of the year again. InSight Crime brings you our annual Criminal GameChangers ([link removed]) series, where we look at the biggest developments of the year in organized crime, and then give you our unrivalled insights on what's to come in 2025.

From Ecuador’s dramatic fall into organized crime chaos, to how governments are handling the challenges to politics and policy by powerful criminal groups, our GameChangers size things up. And who else is going to lay out, in detail, how migrants and cocaine are some of the biggest cash cows for criminal operators in the region? The first chapter is out now ([link removed]) .

And if you need a briefer on everything in the Criminal GameChangers series, don’t miss our virtual panel, where we will talk to some of the most experienced researchers in the field about the most important findings in the field, challenges and predictions for security and crime in 2025.

Spoiler alert: governments themselves appear to be increasingly in league with the criminals.
