Launching the 2023 Global Organized Crime Index - An interview with Kosyo Ivanov and Chiara Gentili

Sveinn Helgason

The Global Organized Crime Index 2023 reveals a widening gap between organized crime and our collective resilience efforts. A new edition of the index has been launched by Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime and the results highlight the urgent need for informed, practical strategies to combat organized crime globally. The index profiles all 193 member states of the United Nations, by providing a criminality and resilience score for each of them. In this episode I speak with two analysts from the GI index team, Kosyo Ivanov  and Chiara Gentili about the main findings and the methodology behind the index.  For full disclosure, I was one of more than 400 experts worldwide who contributed to the index.
