Centre of Criminology Sandra Bucerius (PhD, Frankfurt) is Assistant Professor of Criminology. She is currently working on a monograph based on her five-year ethnographic and qualitative research with a group of 55 young male 2nd generation Muslim migrants who specialized in drug trafficking in Frankfurt/Germany. Drawing on an extensive amount of field notes and over one hundred in-depth interviews, she analyzes the relationship between social exclusion, immigration and informal economies. Her future research will analyse what characteristics increase a neighbourhood’s vulnerability to crime in Toronto and which micro-level processes present risk or offer protective factors to criminogenic forces at the neighbourhood level. In a second project, she will be analyzing the crucial factors for socio-economic success among second generation Turkish immigrants in Germany. Matthew Light (PhD, Yale University) is Assistant Professor of Criminology. His doctoral and post-doctoral research has focused on issues of migration control, individual rights, and policing in post-Soviet Russia. His dissertation (2006) was a study of migration controls in four regions of post-Soviet Russia. The major findings of the study are that residence restrictions in contemporary Russia are not simply a continuation of Soviet-era policies, but rather result from the devolution of state control over migration management to regional governments, which in turn results from the Russian central government's reorientation toward the monopolization of rents from natural resources, as well as the related phenomenon of the imformalization of centre-regional relations in Russia, including de facto control over the police and other law enforcement activities. Professor Light has also studied and written on the legal and political regulation of Muslim religious institutions in Russia. He has also written on the political situation in several regions of Russia, including Belgorod Oblast and the highly unstable North Caucasus (Krasnodar and Stavropol provinces, and the autonomous republic of Adygeia). He is currently revising his dissertation and post-doctoral research for publication as a monograph. His other current interests include the death penalty in contemporary Russia, as well as reform and restructuring of the police force in the Republic of Georgia.
