 erspective

DESCRIPTION:Criminology emerged in the 19th Century as a Europe-wide tech
 nology of enquiry into crime and its control. Despite this\, European cr
 iminologists have only very recently begun to confront the mass atrociti
 es committed on continental soil and in the name of the imperial/ideolog
 ical ambitions of member states. This workshop aims to contribute to the
  development of a European criminology of mass violence and genocide. Br
 inging together leading European scholars of crime and punishment whose 
 work touches on mass violence\, together with experienced practitioners 
 of forensic archaeology and humanitarian emergency response\, the worksh
 op aims to : (i) contextualise the area by analysing trends in the preva
 lence and nature of European mass violence and corpse disposal\; (ii) un
 derstand the socio-legal status and forensic value of cadavers\, togethe
 r with their potential criminological value\; (iii) describe theory and 
 methods that can make sense of the treatment and distribution of dead bo
 dies by perpetrators\; and (iv) understand the links between the legal/p
 rofessional handling of corpses in peacetime and the illegal handling of
  them in times of conflict. In so doing\, we hope to lay some of the fou
 ndations for theoretical\, methodological and practical engagement with 
 the subject matter\, better understand how societies do and do not come 
 to terms with a legacy of mass violence\, and assist in the important pr
 oject of re-ascribing value to radically devalued lives.
