Down by Law: Criminalization, Solidarity, and Survival in Europe -

Crimscapes Research Group: - nThe CrimScapes Research Group consists of twelve ethnographers based in Germany, Finland, France, and Poland who came together to explore what they call landscapes of criminalization. Together with a large number of civil society initiatives and artists, they render visible the lifeworlds that arise from the increasing criminalization of sex work, drug use, search and rescue activities, abortion, HIV/AIDS, the punishments for poverty, and abuse in women's prisons. They reveal how the global trend towards punishment and criminalization leads to experiences of chronic crisis and manifolded strategies of solidarity and survival in Europe.
