Abstract
This special issue of Trends in Organized  Crime  brings together recent empirical
research on migrant smuggling.  Challenging the overemphasis on  'organized crime'
and criminal networks that has long characterized mainstream discussions on smug-
gling, the contributions refocus our attention towards critical but underexamined
dynamics  present in the facilitation of irregular migration in a variety of geographic
contexts, and shed light on the roles lesser examined elements  in smuggling  like
race, ethnicity, gender, sex and intimacy play in irregular migration.

Keywords   Irregular migration, migrant smuggling - Counter-smuggling-
Pandemic   - Intersectionality



This special issue of Trends in Organized  Crime  brings together recent empirical
research on migrant smuggling -the facilitation of the entry of a person into a country
different from their own in exchange  of material benefit. Challenging the overem-
phasis on criminal networks that has long characterized mainstream discussions on
smuggling,  and which  gained renewed  traction during the pandemic, the contribu-
tions refocus our attention towards critical but underexamined dynamics present in
the facilitation of irregular migration in corridors around the world.
