Professor Edward Kleemans

Edward R. Kleemans is Full Professor at the Department of Criminology, Faculty of Law, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands (Serious and Organized Crime and Criminal Justice). His research focuses on organised crime, including cybercrime, drug trafficking, human smuggling, human trafficking, fraud and money laundering, social organization, embeddedness, and the interaction between offenders and the criminal justice system (including policing issues). He started and coordinated the Dutch Organised Crime Monitor (OCM), a systematic, continuing research program of WODC, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam into the nature of organised crime in the Netherlands, based upon intensive analysis of large-scale police investigations. The Dutch Organised Crime Monitor is considered a landmark study in the field of serious and organised crime. He was Vice-Dean / Director of Research (2017-2023) and Dean (ad interim) of the Faculty of Law, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and Head of the Crime, Law Enforcement and Sanctions Research Department of the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC), Ministry of Security and Justice, The Netherlands (2009-2013).
