HEUNI Day 2022 - Towards a global hierarchy of victimhood: global inequality, vulnerability and justice
Dr Katja Franko, Professor of Criminology, University of Oslo
Ideals of universalism and the idea that all lives are equally valuable, and should be equally worthy of protection, form a standard narrative for human rights regimes and international legal instruments. Moreover, 'vulnerability' is becoming an increasingly important concept within EU law and decision-making. Yet, realities on the ground are marked by social arrangements where lives are de facto unequally protected. The lecture addresses one of the central criminological concepts and perspectives-that of inequality-and examines possible avenues for theorizing the dynamics of global security inequality and inequalities of victimhood.
Recorded during HEUNI Day 15.11.2022 at The National Museum of Finland
Perspectives on the future: migration flows, globalisation, rational and humane criminal policy and beyond.
Building on HEUNI's extensive experience of research and policy development in crime prevention and criminal justice, we strive to find new ways of tackling today's wicked problems in order to build a sustainable future. The session focuses on the interconnected questions of globalization, crime, security, migration and rights and aims to provide four perspectives to these topics.
The session celebrates HEUNI's 40th anniversary through a dialogue with government actors, civil society, academia and the private sector.
