Crime and Deviance
Currently I' am working on a personal research program on the change in attitudes towards of death and in the social organization of disposal in Italy during the last two
centuries. Within this program, publications on social history of the birth and the spread of cremation in european cities and on the burials and
their changes in Italy are in preparation.
So far, I worked on (1) the international migration
systems that have affected Italy since the sixties and Italian
migration control policies in a comparative perspective, (2)
patterns and trends of crime and insecurity in Italy and (3) the
life and cultures of gays and lesbians people in Italian.
