3 A few years ago, I attended a workshop organized by Barry Wellman at an International Network for Social Network Analysis (INSNA) conference. Wellman's advice relates directly to Sarnecki's study and should be taken into consideration by all applying the many facets of social network methods to criminological matters. The advice is indeed sound: “We work with matrices, we visualize with graphs. To understand social networks, we must master both”.
