Main Research Interests:

• Criminological aspects of the European Integration: criminology in the era of  “globalisation”, social control beyond the “nation state”, the interaction between local, international and supranational levels of social control, human rights and state of law in the “new field” of social control, migrant populations as targets of social control, the “european citizenship” as a tool of social control, etc.
• Criminology and literature: epistemological and methodological conditions for a “dialogue” between two areas of discourse about crime.
