This document discusses research analyzing criminal networks in Brazil using network analysis techniques. The researchers collected data on over 15,000 criminal individuals and their relationships, creating a network of over 9,000 nodes and 19,000 links. Analyzing the network, they identified 93 distinct criminal modules. The researchers then applied various attack strategies to the network, such as targeting high-betweenness or high-degree nodes, and found that targeting inter-module links using a module-based attack strategy was the most effective at fragmenting the network.
