SESSION 2:


BREAKTHROUGH REQUESTED – RESEARCH ON VULNERABILITIES TO CRIME IN ROAD AND LOGISTICS IN THE NETHERLANDS


Speaker: Dr. Eric Bervoets, Criminologist, Bervoets Research Agency


The Netherlands is a ‘logistics turntable of


Europe’ with the Ports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. From empirical research and criminal cases, we know that The Netherlands is also unintentionally interesting for international illicit drug trafficking, which prompted the Dutch Ministry of Justice to produce a study on vulnerability to crime in the transport sector, especially freight transport by road.


The project had three goals and a focus on The Netherlands:


1. Provide insight into vulnerabilities


2. Make recommendations to make the transport world resilient and agile towards crime and criminal networks


3. Give recommendations on Public Private Partnerships to reach the goals formulated with point 2.


As one of the authors of the resulting ‘Breakthrough Requested’ report, Dr. Eric Bervoets will address the key findings and main conclusions of this study, and will elaborate on the question ‘What can be done by public and private actors?’
