DESCRIPTION: <h3>A resilient rule of law through socio-legal research<
 /h3> The murders of lawyer Derk Wiersum and journalist Peter R. de Vr
 ies shocked the Netherlands. But their impact goes beyond personal lo
 ss: they strike at the core of our democratic rule of law. Yet, subve
 rsive crime - what it is, how it works, and the mechanisms behind it 
 - remains insufficiently mapped out. Legal scholar and social scienti
 st Jill Coster van Voorhout conducts socio-legal research to investig
 ate, among other things, the structures behind organized crime. On Fr
 iday, April 4, she will deliver her inaugural lecture at Vrije Univer
 siteit Amsterdam. <h3>The undermining of the rule of law</h3> Subvers
 ive crime poses a growing threat to the democratic rule of law. Coste
 r van Voorhout emphasizes that these crimes are not isolated incident
 s but part of large criminal networks spanning multiple sectors and c
 ountries. 'This type of crime can also erode citizens' trust in the l
 egal system and government. When criminals exert influence on institu
 tions with impunity and pressure professionals, justice and security 
 are at risk.' <h3>The three pillars of subversive crime</h3> The Neth
 erlands has yet to define subversive crime, which is why Coster van V
 oorhout's research focuses on three essential pillars: people, money,
  and infrastructure. Without these three elements, crimes such as hum
 an trafficking, money laundering, and corruption cannot thrive. She e
 xamines how these elements converge and how criminal networks blur th
 e lines between the legal and illegal worlds. 'By following the money
 , we gain insight into how these criminal networks operate,' explains
  Coster van Voorhout. 'We aim to expose how illicitly acquired wealth
  is laundered and how criminal structures become embedded in legal se
 ctors.' <h3>Interdisciplinary research with societal impact</h3> The 
 research combines criminal and civil law analyses with advanced compu
 tational models and socio-economic methods. 'Think of artificial inte
 lligence recognizing patterns in criminal financial flows or statisti
 cal models reconstructing criminal networks,' says Coster van Voorhou
 t. Collaboration with 28 researchers from nine disciplines, banks, mi
 nistries, and law enforcement agencies is crucial. 'Within a public-p
 rivate consortium of 22 societal partners, we pool our expertise: ban
 ks report unusual transactions, law enforcement agencies inspect busi
 nesses, and NGOs support victims. By combining these efforts, we enha
 nce the effectiveness of our approach.' <h3>From science to policy</h
 3> The goal is not only to expand academic knowledge but also to cont
 ribute to effective policy. By identifying weaknesses in the rule of 
 law, ministries can refine legislation and regulations. 'Through empi
 rical research, we map out the highest risks,' says Coster van Voorho
 ut. 'If we see that certain criminal structures systematically underm
 ine the democratic rule of law, we can work with our partners to deve
 lop targeted policy measures to counter these threats.' <h3>Historica
 l and legal-theoretical perspectives</h3> In addition to legal and ec
 onomic analyses, the research also examines broader historical and ph
 ilosophical contexts. 'We assess whether this form of crime fits with
 in our (criminal) legal history and seek normative frameworks that he
 lp translate empirical data into a definition of rule-of-law-undermin
 ing crime,' explains Coster van Voorhout. 'This allows us to determin
 e how legislation and enforcement should evolve to better protect the
  democratic rule of law.' <h3>Bridging disciplines</h3> For Coster va
 n Voorhout, her professorship at VU is a logical next step in her car
 eer. 'My work operates at the intersection of normativity and empiric
 ism, law and society. This research offers a unique opportunity to fu
 rther develop and apply that knowledge.' In the coming years, her tea
 m will build bridges between criminal law, criminology, history, phil
 osophy, and technology - ultimately striving for a more resilient dem
 ocratic rule of law. Rumi's elephant: Sociolegal research into crimes
