This report covers a handful of the variables. Coders were given a Facebook link, which they opened in one window. Then in another window, they went through an online questionnaire hosted by SoSciSurvey.

    The crime of crimes: genocide as criminology's blind spot
    (2023) Mamo, Natalie
    Genocide is a topic that is almost universally ignored by criminology. While it is frequently referred to as “the crime of crimes,” there is virtually no criminological coverage of genocide. The following analysis is a review of existing criminological literature in genocide studies, situating mainstream criminology’s ignorance of genocide in a socio-historical context in order to determine the reason(s) for this disregard. This analysis proposes that the mainstream criminological ignorance of genocide is a calculated and intentional act. Such willful blindness avoids and deflects from disciplinary accountability because of criminology’s historical complacency in genocide. Most of the existing mainstream criminological literature on genocide is criticized because of its hyperfocus on definitional arguments, the redemptive nature of such academic coverage, and the quantification of such atrocities. Thus, an argument for a critical criminological approach to genocide studies is desperately needed for criminology to interpret genocidal acts adequately.

    Imperialist consequences and contemporary crisis: a comparative analysis of human trafficking in Ukraine and Canada
    (2025) Rhodes, Alyssa; Buchkovska, Dariia; Havhun, Diana; Mamo, Natalie
    Human trafficking is a highly intersectional problem as the victim pool, perpetration, and assumptions regarding these dynamics are largely intertwined with positions of power, race, gender, and other social factors. This paper will focus on power in the form of imperialism as a critical extenuating factor for trafficking. Imperialism is the aggressive enforcement of one nation onto another, which can include colonialism, systemic oppression of minorities, and increased victimization of those not part of an imperialistic force. This paper compares Canadian and Ukrainian students' perceptions of the hypothesized relationship between imperialism and human trafficking, specifically within these countries. By elucidating how power disparities aid in recruiting, transporting, and transferring individuals for exploitation translates to a better assessment of how to educate and prevent future trafficking cases. Interviews with research participants supplemented the literature, creating a consensus linking colonial/imperialistic forces and the heightened risk Indigenous populations face within Canada. Similarly, research underscored how the current war in Ukraine, a contemporary example of imperialistic invasion, has translated into an increase in human trafficking cases. These findings substantiate the correlation between imperialism and human trafficking. This connection should be further exhausted with a larger sample size to further illuminate human trafficking crime trends and the bias that denies justice to specific populations.
