He holds a doctorate degree in Geography from a partnership between the University of São Paulo (USP) and the University of Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne. He has also worked on translating and introducing the theories of Brazilian geographer Milton Santos to the English-speaking community. Lucas is co-editor of the book Order and Conflict in Public Space (Routledge, 2016) and lead editor of the journal Criminological Encounters. Jeffrey Monaghan is an Assistant Professor at Carleton's Institute for Criminology and Criminal Justice, Canada. He has a PhD in Sociology from Queen's University, where he studied at the Surveillance Studies Centre. His research is focused on the surveillance of social movements with a focus on environmental and indigenous movements; knowledge construction practices associated with contemporary policing of 'radicalization'; and domestic security governance in the context of the 'war on terror'. His recent book, Security Aid (University of Toronto Press, 2017), examines the securitization of humanitarian aid. He lives in Ottawa, Canada.
