This chapter presents the Takedown Project developed dynamic cubic model for analyzing, understanding and assessing cases of organized crime, violent extremism and terrorism. It describes the model concept and logic as well as its features, and elaborates on how it can be practically applied to examine selected cases of concern. It also outlines additional options for further applications of the model to understand the nexus of organized crime and terrorism or the evaluation of counter/measures. The three-dimensional model became an integral part of the technical and technological solutions developed by the Project.
