Our current focus


Astromining as White Collar Ecocrime
In the vast expanse of space, global corporations are venturing into astromining on celestial bodies like the Moon, asteroids, and Mars. Join us as we uncover the hidden facets of this celestial frontier, dissecting the intricate web of white-collar ecocrime that often accompanies these ventures. Space criminology sheds light on the consequences of resource exploitation beyond our planet.

Interpersonal Conflict and Violence in Space
Beyond the stars, interpersonal dynamics take on a new dimension. Space criminology delves deep into the complexities of human interactions in the extraterrestrial realm. From isolated space stations to long-duration missions, we examine the unique challenges posed by these environments, shedding light on the causes and consequences of conflicts and violence among spacefaring individuals.



Defending Human Rights in the Cosmic Arena
The cosmos may seem beyond the reach of Earthly laws, but human rights violations persist even in the vacuum of space. Join us in our mission to expose and address the issues of human rights violations both in space and via space technologies. Space criminology advocates for justice and accountability, ensuring that the rights of all individuals, regardless of their location, are upheld and protected.
