Contract killing (also known as murder-for-hire) is a form of murder or assassination in which one party hires another party to kill a targeted person or people. [1] It involves an agreement which includes some form of compensation, monetary or otherwise.
Nov 22, 2021 · At least 2,700 contract killings took place in 2019 and 2020 in more than 80 countries, enabling criminals to silence those who oppose them and dissuade efforts into investigating their activities, according to a Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) report.

Vehicles
The criminal investigations provide a detailed picture of the type of cars suspects used before and after the contract killings. The analysis shows that all suspects used several stolen vehicles, for the execution of the killing and as a getaway car. Vehicles from the four contract killings investigations and the investigation into organized car theft share a number of similarities: color, car brand, model, and year of construction. All cars had a dark color, mainly black and grey. The group...
Pretty-Good-Privacy telephones
The analysis also shows that Pretty-Good-Privacy telephones (PGPs) and beacons play an important role in contract killings. In all analyzed investigations, suspects communicated through the use of PGPs which provide the opportunity to send encrypted messages and emails. As only the receiver has the code to decrypt the messages, this facility makes it possible to share sensitive information without notice of the police. The use of PGPs hinders the gathering of proof of criminal activities; in...
Beacons
Next to PGPs, four liquidation investigations resulted in the discovery of a total of ten beacons. Some of these beacons had not been activated yet and were seized in homes of suspects. In all liquidation investigations, the police found a beacon under the intended victim's car: "we now have something under his < Dutch slang for car > ". Beacons are easy and legal to buy at so-called spy shops and range in price from 1100 to 1500 euros. After activation of the beacon, the location of the inte...
The analysis reveals four types of facilitators that play a role in the crime script: arms dealers, car suppliers, spy shops, and hitmen. The latter two are discussed in more detail, as this research has revealed relatively much information about the role of spy shops and hitmen and relatively less about arms dealers and car suppliers.
Crime scripts contain former unknown or unseen information, but also provide concrete options for interventions. Figure 1shows the crime script for contract killings. As stated above, there are multiple goods and facilitators contributing to a successful killing. One type of intervention involves focusing investigative efforts to prevent, disrupt, ...

Nov 17, 2021 · In 2019 and 2020, at least 2 700 people in 84 countries were the targets of contract killings linked to organized crime, according to the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC)’s latest research.
A common example of a proxy murder would be a person contracting a hit man, [2] or a hired killer. Hit men commit the act of murder on a specific target or targets, and may receive payment in exchange for the murder or murders committed. This is what is known as contract killing. [3]
Some studies focus on con-tract killings in the criminal environment or organized crime, but other studies use a much wider definition of a contract killing. The early study by Black and Cra-vens (2001) uses crime script analysis to investigate the process of contract killings.
