  • The Theory of Successful Criminal Entrepreneurs
    THE THEORY OF SUCCESSFUL CRIMINAL ENTREPRENEURS Khaled Alnkhailan BA Criminology and Criminal Justice MA Sociology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Law Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Criminal entrepreneurs, organised crime, non-hierarchical structured organised crime, modus essendi, modus operandi, modus vivendi, leadership, vision, brokerage, bribery, blackmail, mentors, role models, human capital, the theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs i ABSTRACT As typological category, criminal entrepreneurs have a different modus operandi from most traditional criminals. This study develops a theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs, operating in non-hierarchically structured organised crime. Successful criminal entrepreneurs cannot be described through classic criminological theories such as low self-control theory. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs provides an understanding of the leadership of criminal entrepreneurs which includes vision, leadership style and orientation, in addition to their identity. The theory also provides an understanding of the operational approaches used by successful criminal entrepreneurs in addition to the use of their social networks. The theory of successful criminal entrepreneurs argues that successful criminal entrepreneurs start their careers with a clearly defined vision. Criminal entrepreneurs then lead people towards their vision with a charismatic leadership
