    Brief

    This research opportunity aims to investigate illicit trade in stolen goods and second-hand markets. The research will examine market mechanisms, supply chain vulnerabilities, and trading patterns to develop evidence-based strategies for combating theft and preventing stolen merchandise from entering legitimate commerce. Researchers should focus on understanding how stolen goods are distributed, identifying key vulnerabilities in second-hand markets, and recommending policy interventions or enforcement approaches. The findings will support government agencies and law enforcement in developing more effective prevention and detection methods.
