ABSTRACT
Background: Crime, like the heads of the hydra, constantly evolves and manifests in new forms. This study aligns with Cusson et al., arguing that border populations experience various illicit and non-standard activities, referred to as "opportunistic" crime, which impact their gender and lifestyles. These areas were previously regarded as small-scale fraudulent trafficking zones where the absence or weak presence of the state and porous borders facilitated such activities. However, the emergence of terrorism has transformed these regions into high-risk zones. Objective: This research aims to examine the specific forms of conflict and criminality observed in these border areas, particularly those connected to gold-mining sites. Methods: Qualitative surveys were conducted using the participatory research method (MARP), and interviews were conducted with local authorities in the surveyed areas. Results: The findings reveal that criminal organizations exert control over these areas and exploit these illicit activities and conflicts to recruit their workforce and finance terrorism. The social learning theory of crime, as advocated by Sutherland and others, serves as the foundational theory for this study. According to this theory, criminal behavior is learned through interpersonal exchanges, with individuals motivated by personal gain. Additionally, Sageman's theory complements this perspective by explaining how jihadist recruitment can be facilitated. He suggests that radicalization occurs within breeding grounds of resentment, where similar pairs, such as groups of friends, brothers, or cousins, foster the growth of radical ideologies.
Keywords: Conflict and crime, border populations, violent extremism or jihadism, criminal organisations, natural resources in Côte d'Ivoire
