This article contributes to our existing knowledge through a crime script analysis of contract killings, based on six extensively analyzed police investigations in the Netherlands.

For this article, a universal crime script is used for data analysis, as crime script analysis has not been used in much detail before for the analysis of contract kill-ings.

The crime script analysis of six criminal investigations produced various remarkable similarities, particularly regarding requirements and two types of facilitators. First, we discuss requirements for the process of contract killings: stolen vehicles, weap-ons, and technical equipment. Second, we elaborate upon two types of facilitators: spy shops ...
The analysis also shows that Pretty-Good-Privacy telephones (PGPs) and beacons play an important role in contract killings.

One of the sus-pects answers the phone with "Hitman, at your service", and has the following con-versation “For ho...
