Anatomy of macro-level crime
When crimes are committed not against, but by the system.
To launch the third season, Claude Eric Bertschinger, in conversation with Prof. Nadine Zurkinden and Clara Rigoni, explores the concept of macro-crime: from its origins, through the significance of systemic conformity, control and legitimisation, to the structural conditions that enable human rights violations, war crimes or organised violence. The discussion also covers the challenges for criminal law and international criminal law when crimes are not committed by individual perpetrators but are the result of collective processes.
Dr. iur. Clara Rigoni is a Maître Assistante at the École des sciences criminelles at the University of Lausanne and, together with Nadine Zurkinden, sits on the board of the SAK.
