Armed with innovative data analysis techniques, Bone’s findings spotlight the dire need for revisiting conventional approaches to organized crime, urging a holistic perspective that prioritizes community safety over mere eradication of leaders. Her dedication to enthusing students about this critical field ensures that future economists will explore even deeper the complexities of crime and society.
