Community Crime and Subversion
Subversive crime is a serious problem and is high on society’s agenda, not only in the Netherlands but also in Europe. A successful approach requires insight into criminal networks and coordinated action by governments and citizens. Tilburg University's aim is to contribute to the practical and scientific understanding of the problem and the development of action perspectives for society and its institutions. We do this from a wide range of scientific disciplines.
