Efficient Disruption of Criminal Networks through Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms

arXiv:2604.09647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Criminal networks, such as the Sicilian Mafia, pose substantial threats to public safety, national security, and economic stability. Outdated disruption methods with a focus on removing influential individuals or key players have proven ineffective due to the covertness of the network. Thus, researchers have been trying to apply Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques, such as centrality-based measures, to identify key players. However, removing
