Description
Using methods adapted from criminology and military science, and harnessing his over twenty years experience researching maritime piracy in East and West Africa, Figliomeni offers a way forward for effective counter-piracy programs.
As a criminologist and former global security practitioner, Figliomeni brings a unique approach to tackling piracy, inspired by military operational planning and criminology, specifically Routine Activities (RA) crime prevention theory and Dynamic Operational Design planning and Assessment Approach (DODPAA).
Maritime Piracy Reduction in Africa provides readers with a template for developing counter-piracy actions – policies, operations, training exercises, and engagement activities – among local, regional and international stakeholders and shows how to assess the progress of tasks, effects, and objectives for reducing or eliminating maritime piracy crimes.
Through cooperative, collaborative and collective efforts, Figliomeni argues, we can achieve a successful reduction of maritime piracy across the world.
