ABSTRACT
This chapter presents social and temporal units of analysis that can be used to think clinically about the crimes of urbanisation, and more effectively interrogate the closed social worlds that organise these illicit processes. Attention is also given to the applicability of new methodological tools, which allow complex social networks, and transactions sequences, to be mapped and analysed. These methods are married to more established social science instruments, which have been repurposed using new digital and forensic advances. The aim is to produce an overarching methodological framework that can hone crimes of urbanisation inquiry.
