The Strategic Research Programme (SRP) "Crime& Society: New challenges" will build on the increasing cooperation between our four research lines (Penality and Society, Policing and Surveillance, Youth Justice studies, Crime and the City) to approach cutting-edge areas in criminology and society in an integrated manner.
The programme focuses on the experiences of both clients and crime control/public order professionals with human rights, technology and social exclusion, and on how these experiences shape their practices. In doing so, we will reflect in-depth on the methodological, ethical and theoretical implications of our approach.
Knowledge Cluster
We focus on the relation between the new ‘precarity-crime-control-complex’, including experience of “members” of the new precariat.
