SUMMARY:Migrating ‘ndrangheta and the paradigms of cultural policing of m
 afia-type organised crime cross borders
DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker : Anna Sergi
Anna Sergi holds a PhD in Sociology 
 from the University of Essex\, UK\, an LLM in Criminal Law\, Criminology a
 nd Criminal Justice from King’s College\, London and a specialist law de
 gree from the University of Bologna\, Italy.
As a lecturer in Criminology 
 at the University of Essex\, she specialises in organised crime and mafia 
 studies\, from different perspectives\, privileging comparative research a
 pproaches in policing and criminal justice methods. She has been a visitin
 g fellow in different institutions\, among which New York University\, Fli
 nders University\, University of Melbourne\, and the Australian Institute 
 of Criminology.
Summary
International media and popular culture have perpe
 tuated the presumption that criminals of Calabrian origins around the worl
 d must belong to\, and replicate the structure of\, the mafia-type Calabri
 an ‘ndrangheta clans. This presumption has been largely confirmed by Ita
 lian authorities and recently been considered by Australian and Canadian o
 nes. However\, this importation of European policing models is in danger o
 f replicating the flawed conceptualisation of organised crime as always hi
 erarchical and monolithic from the USA while risking to miss the true natu
 re of the Calabrian mafia phenomenon abroad.
This on-going research projec
 t\, carried out in Australia and in Canada\, and drawing from previous res
 earch on the topic\, reflects upon the challenges and possibilities to und
 erstand the Calabrian ‘ndrangheta as a set of behaviours (‘ndranghetis
 m) that can migrate and/or root abroad also thanks to exploitation of cult
 ural traits from the territory of origin with specific references to Canad
 ian and Australian experiences. Law enforcement often struggles to recogni
 se culture and behaviours as relevant for investigations and oppose cultur
 al approaches in fear of ethnic discrimination. The very core of this refl
 ection\, therefore\, is a re-definition of the concepts of cultural polici
 ng\, or policing through cultural awareness\, of mafia behaviours in terri
 tories different from the ones of origin.
