  abstract = {{F}ocused on maritime piracy in the oil-producing {N}iger {D}elta ({N}igeria), this article addresses three main questions. {F}irst, how can we measure the escalation or decrease of criminal violence at sea? {S}econdly, what is the relationship between piracy and the (permanent) crisis of the state in {A}frica? {F}inally, what is the relationship between violence at sea and conflicts onshore ? {A}ctually, there are not enough data to monitor the real trend of maritime piracy in {N}igeria. {A}nother difficulty is that statistics and the international community focus on attacks against 'big' commercial boats and the oil industry. {A}s a result, they ignore 'small' trawlers and fishermen who are the first victims of pirates in terms of homicides. {M}oreover, quantitative monitoring does not give details on the political economy of piracy. {T}oo often, security analysts provide simplistic explanations that point to usual stereotypes on {A}frica: poverty, the failure of the state, etc. {B}ut the problem is more complex. {T}he modernization of maritime piracy is different from a quantitative growth and has a lot to do with the local dynamics of political conflicts and crime in the oil-producing coastal states of {N}igeria},
