Ukrainian Center for Law and Crime Research - a group of researchers working at the intersection of sociology, anthropology, criminology, gender studies and political science.
We seek to study law not in its "internal logic", but in its practical functioning: for us it is important not only what is written in the law, but also how this text is understood and applied in our daily lives.
Since 2018, we conduct research, publish materials and reviews. To get acquainted with our mission, welcome to the manifesto.
I am interested in policing protest, police reforms in hybrid and authoritarian regimes, policemen's career trajectories.
