Marc Schuilenburg teaches in the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology, VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Coming from Law he decided to study Philosophy – especially the work of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Michel Foucault to understand how the formal structures of our society work. He worked for six years for the Public Prosecution Service, before joining the VU University Amsterdam. He earned his PhD in Social Sciences on the workings of myriad systems of surveillance and public-private security assemblages that dominate today’s urban landscape. His book 'Orde in veiligheid' (2012) was awarded the triennial Willem Nagel Prize by the Dutch Society of Criminology. He has been a visiting professor in New York (John Jay College, 2013) and is currently a visiting professor at University Campus Suffolk, Ipswich (2014-2020). Marc Schuilenburg is co-founder and current co-editor of the academic journal Tijdschrift over Cultuur & Criminaliteit [Journal on Culture & Crime] and current co-editor of Justitiële verkenningen [Judicial Explorations].
