Summary

Anamika is a critical global criminologist; her research and teaching centre on the intersection of power,  systemic injustice, social harm, and deviance in a globalised world. She has examined state & corporate harms (state co-offending, climate change and related environmental harms), green and blue criminology (environmental harms, maritime piracy, terrorism), decolonising criminology, and restorative justice. Her research has been published in the British Journal of Criminology, Critical Criminology, Laws, International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justice, and as scholarly texts in edited books.

Anamika’s current projects include exploring the deviant causes of Earth System damage (including climate change), diversifying restorative justice, various forms of state co-offending (a term she coined), and decolonising criminological knowledge production using an anti-racist foundation. 

Prior to joining academia, Anamika worked for the International Maritime Bureau in London investigating international shipping, trade, and finance fraud. She is fluent in English, German, Polish, French and conversational Bengali.
