Thanks to the fabulous, friendly & helpful #EUROCRIM2018 student helper volunteers! ๐
After a keynote about #gender, finishing #EUROCRIM2018 with a #manel. Sigh. ๐ #Criminology
#EUROCRIM2018 keynote @MayLenSkilbrei: mainstream #Criminology needs to engage with sexual violence, sexuality & #gender.
#EUROCRIM2018 Mike Levi: no known figures on reality of money laundering. What do we do with money laundering banks? What is the collateral damage if we close them down? #crime
#EUROCRIM2018 Mike Levi keynote joking that we're all Trump fans because he's given academics so much work... 'consistency is bourgeois' ๐
#EUROCRIM2018 final atrocities panel covering punitive attitudes in #Darfur, defining #genocide, sentencing of atrocities in #Croatia & transitional #justice integration across fmr Yugoslavia. #Criminology
#EUROCRIM2018 @Andy8chi on the organisational structure contributing to 511 detention sites in Yugoslavia war. How does violence occur in such distinct structures used to control an 'enemy' society? #warCrimes
#EUROCRIM2018 @filip_vojta on successful rehab on Int criminals in Scandinavian prisons compared to restrictive treatment in Central & Western Europe (eg no language courses, no safety, restricted family contact, Ltd or no work access).
#EUROCRIM2018 Eszter Kirs on difficulty of #ICTY outreach due to local focus on radio & TV #media and politicians rather than direct engagement w/ICTY. Potential for balanced dialogue missing.
#EUROCRIM2018 another fantastic & interesting panel on mass atrocities: #Rwanda #gacaca, #ICTY impact & punishment, Yugoslavia war detention site organisation. @hollienbrehm @Andy8chi @filip_vojta
#EUROCRIM2018 @GenocideStudies @hollienbrehm on her amazing 2yr project to clean up #gacaca trial data & look at sentencing outcomes. Different communities had different punishments, property crimes mostly received fines. Ave perpetrator age 34. #Rwanda #genocide
.@GenocideStudies representing at #EUROCRIM2018. #genocide #Criminology
Just a legend of #Criminology, Gottfredson in the house #EUROCRIM2018 ๐๐ค๐ #crimeTheory: a true theory of crime is a theory of criminal #justice.
Full house #EUROCRIM2018 for Marianne Wade: no system is as overloaded as the int crim #justice one. In domestic law, prosecutors always make plea bargains on financial #crime.
#EUROCRIM2018 @ASagana: witness recall is actually very accurate, judges should not rely on body language, inconsistencies are not related to accuracy. #memory
#EUROCRIM2018 @SuzanneSchot: despite #trauma of witnesses, most witness testimony found reliable in #ICC & #ICTY. Very few cases where testimony is disregarded.
#EUROCRIM2018 Gabriele Chlevickaite: int crim judges determine credibility by contamination (eg child soldiers), demeanor, character, motive; reliability by level of detail, consistency, knowledge, plausibility. Exact factors differ btwn #ICC & #ICTY.
#EUROCRIM2018 @thijsbouwknegt on different forms of #truth in int crim trials, & challenge of finding legal truth thru testimony that relies on witness memory & cultural differences. Culture of trust of reliability of witness testimony.
#eurocrim2018 Atrocity & #TJ scholars may be interested in attending @GenocideStudies #IAGS2019 multi-disciplinary conference in #PhnomPenh #Cambodia on #Genocide Studies & Prevention. #CfP deadline 30 Nov 2018. https://www.iags2019.com/
#EUROCRIM2018 Huma Saeed: post-conflict #corruption in #Afghanistan has led to land grabbing by warlords & other #HumanRights violators to build residential properties & make money, even renting out as foreign embassies up to $40K pm! #stateCrime
#EUROCRIM2018 @Annik_a: publication of corporate involvement in atrocities does not effect stock market; accusations of #HumanRights violations do not lead to reputational damage. #genocide
Why do corporations get involved in atrocities? To exploit labour & the environment. #HumanRights #EUROCRIM2018 #genocide @w_huisman
State #military & other agencies biggest partners of corporations in atrocities. #EUROCRIM2018 @w_huisman
This is how corporations get involved in atrocities: logistics, Finance, goods. #HumanRights #EUROCRIM2018
In #genocide, companies cover all crimes, but it intent there? #EUROCRIM2018 @w_huisman
More specifically... Killing & #torture very popular with corporations. #EUROCRIM2018
What kinds of atrocities & #HumanRights violations are companies getting involved in? #warCrimes #CAH #genocide #EUROCRIM2018 @w_huisman
Companies get involved in atrocities during armed conflict or under dictator regimes. #HumanRights #EUROCRIM2018 @w_huisman
#EUROCRIM2018 @w_huisman on #business & atrocities incl #AUS #Refugee detention centres & Kiobel case against @Shell.
