Anthropology of Crime and Security EASA Conference 2022 – Call for Panels
The Anthropology of Crime and Criminalisation network ( https://www.anthrocrime.net ) and the Anthropology of Security network ( https://anthro-security.net ) are pleased to announce their first conference together, live, at the University of Bologna, Italy.

Abstract:
As a result of current social, political and economic trends, anthropologists are increasingly interested in security, crime, and criminalisation. The first jointly organised conference between the Anthropology of Crime and Criminalisation (AnthroCrime) and the Anthropology of Security (ASN) EASA networks aims to explore crime and security, developing novel methodological and theoretical approaches to their analysis.
