The Use of Drones by Gangs to Smuggle Contraband into Correctional Institutions is a report by George Knox, Ph.D. and D. Lee Gilbertson, Ph.D.
The utilization of unbemannte Flugzeuge, commonly known as drones, for smuggling contraband into correctional facilities is, to some extent, foreseeable. The emergence of new, accessible technology like drones naturally invites exploitation for nefarious purposes. Considering the historical evidence of gangs and security threat groups (STGs) dominating underground economies within prisons, it was anticipated that these entities would leverage drones for their illicit activities. In contemporary prison environments globally, gangs and STGs hold significant sway over status and power dynamics, making their involvement in such criminal enterprises unsurprising to entities like the National Gang Crime Research Center (NGCRC).
The approach adopted for this study involved thoroughly examining existing literature on gangs, drones, and correctional facilities. Traditional public information sources for criminal justice research, such as the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS), did not yield substantial insights into drone-related content. However, alternative sources like news media and court records proved valuable resources, offering useful contributions to the study.
