Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Social networks are value neutral—they provide a structure through which deviant and pro-social resources, information, and other goods can flow. Thus, the very same types of networks used in the maintenance of neighborhood social control can also be used for illicit purposes. Yet, while ethnographic research continues to show that criminal networks are oftentimes intertwined with pro-social networks, few studies systematically measure such networks or the ways in which they intersect. The present study analyzes the structure of social and criminal networks among gun offenders in four Chicago neighborhoods. Using an egocentric approach, this paper explores how network properties such as centrality and structural constraint influence the operation of illegal gun markets and perceptions of neighborhood social order. We argue that the actual structure of offender networks influences access to criminal opportunities and patterns of offending more generally. More specifically, we analyze various network indicators of “social capital,” measured as redundancy, connectedness, and constraint—the lower the network constraint, the greater the access to criminal opportunities, information, and markets, and, therefore, the greater the criminal capital.
