Resumen
Los grupos del crimen organizado se entienden tradicionalmente compuestos por hombres, con una estructura jerárquica rígida y tareas bien divididas. Sin embargo, estudios recientes han venido mostrando que las redes criminales (estructura horizontal) son cada vez más comunes e incluso una alternativa a la estructura rígida típica del crimen organizado, lo que permite un grupo criminal más flexible, dinámico y adaptable. Además, las mujeres están cada vez más presentes en estos grupos, como en los grupos de narcotraficantes, y, en algunos casos, desempeñan papeles relevantes en las organizaciones criminales.
En este estudio, se analizaron expedientes judiciales penales relacionados con el tráfico de drogas del crimen organizado que involucran a cien acusados mediante la aplicación de técnicas de análisis de redes criminales. El objetivo fue examinar la participación y centralidad de las mujeres en el funcionamiento de los grupos narcotraficantes. Los resultados muestran que las mujeres tienen funciones relevantes dentro de sus grupos y las medidas de centralidad evidencian que las mujeres desempeñan papeles importantes, siendo algunas de ellas protagonistas decisivas en el funcionamiento del grupo.
