Terrorism and Political Violence Vol.24 No.2 April-June 2012, pp.180-198 (116)Summary: This article frames the existing literature on crime-terror interaction to demonstrate that threat convergence is more complex than policymakers and practitioners often realize. With terror and crime groups evolving to resemble one another, convergence is undermining the conventional wisdom that limited crime-terror interaction to short term relationships due to divergent motives. The contemporary threat environment is promoting longer-term cooperation between organized crime and terrorism, in some cases resulting in hybrid organizations that merge elements of both.
