“…Relatedly, Asuni (2009) also believes that poverty-related issues need to be addressed, but concede that COT is not likely to be entirely motivated by poor socioeconomic conditions. As a consequence of considering the social, economic and political factors, Watts (2009) and Davidheiser and Nyiayaana (2011), among others, believe that the solution to COT lies in ameliorating the distal socio-political causes.…”

This research sought to investigate patterns and correlates of the under-researched crime of crude oil theft (COT) in the context of the Niger Delta. The aim was to examine the feasibility of opportunity-, deprivation-and market-value-based explanations for COT patterns. A total of 1039 incidents of COT recorded by the Nigerian Oil Producers' Trade Section in 2012-2014 were analysed. The results indicate that even when controlling for clustering of the oil pipeline infrastructure, spatial clustering of COT was statistically significant indicating manipulation of vulnerable situational contexts. No significant correlation was found between COT and the local unemployment or poverty rate. Finally, there was a moderate, significant positive temporal association between the volume of crude oil stolen and the international market price. The findings provide evidence that COTs are likely perpetrated by rationally motivated offenders and suggest that situational crime prevention and market reduction approaches show promise in proactively curtailing criminal opportunities.

“…El enfoque principal que subyace de estos estudios se concentra en una preocupación por la reintegración en el espectro político: la construcción de Estado y escenarios de paz considerando los nuevos actores en pugna por el poder (Chamorro, 2015;Escuela de Cultura de Paz, 2011). En el caso de Nigeria, ocurrió algo similar con el grupo alzado en armas «Niger-Delta», algunos autores han investigado los marcos jurídicos-políticos en los que se inscribieron los acuerdos de amnistía a sus integrantes, con una discusión intrínseca, de nuevo, por la construcción de Estado y paz en contextos violentos (Ajayi y Adesote, 2013;Courson, 2011;Davidheiser y Nyiayaana, 2011).…”

Este artículo pone en evidencia que la agenda de la política pública de la reintegración en Colombia ha estado estrechamente articulada al mandato internacional del programa de Desarme, Desmovilización y Reintegración, que asume el proceso de forma homogénea, sin considerar los aspectos singulares de los reintegrados (su grupo de procedencia, género, raza, entre otros). Se señala, así mismo, que la agenda académica de la reintegración en Colombia, que se ha encargado de diagnosticar lo anterior, se encuentra todavía en una fase de discusión jurídico-política, pues se ha concentrado en los marcos jurídicos, estudios institucionalistas y comparativos del proceso, desde una apuesta teórica fundamentalmente estructural-funcionalista. En esa medida, se propone una mirada teórico-metodológica alternativa, desde el pragmatismo de la teoría de la acción creativa de Hans Joas, partiendo de los aspectos positivos y la reformulación de los más problemáticos del estado de la cuestión.

“…The amnesty granted freedom from prosecution to all militants who surrendered. 75 Around 20,000 militants surrendered, each thereafter receiving 420 dollars per month. Some argue that the amnesty program was successful in attracting former militants by providing comparably large cash incentives, but that it failed to address the root causes of the conflict.…”
