“…We recognize that, without adequate context, these definitions remain inherently ambiguous and may elide existing conflicts and tensions between people and institutions. For example, police departments are undoubtedly part of communities across the United States but have complicated and often antagonistic relationships with these communities, individuals, and other local institutions 71 . Despite these difficulties, police departments may be valuable partners in some ED interventions and research efforts 72,73 .…”

Objectives Existing curricula and recommendations on the incorporation of structural competency and vulnerability into medical education have not provided clear guidance on how best to do so within emergency medicine (EM). The goal of this scoping review and consensus building process was to provide a comprehensive overview of structural competency, link structural competency to educational and patient care outcomes, and identify existing gaps in the literature to inform curricular implementation and future research in EM. Methods A scoping review focused on structural competency and vulnerability following Arksey and O’Malley’s six‐step framework was performed in concurrence with a multistep consensus process culminating in the 2021 SAEM Consensus Conference. Feedback was incorporated in developing a framework for a national structural competency curriculum in EM. Results A literature search identified 291 articles that underwent initial screening. Of these, 51 were determined to be relevant to EM education. The papers consistently conceptualized structural competency as an interdisciplinary framework that requires learners and educators to consider historical power and privilege to develop a professional commitment to justice. However, the papers varied in their operationalization, and no consensus existed on how to observe or measure the effects of structural competency on learners or patients. None of the studies examined the structural constraints of the learners studied. Conclusions Findings emphasize the need for training structurally competent physicians via national structural competency curricula focusing on standardized core competency proficiencies. Moreover, the findings highlight the need to assess the impact of such curricula on patient outcomes and learners’ knowledge, attitudes, and clinical care delivery. The framework aims to standardize EM education while highlighting the need for further research in how structural competency interventions would translate to an ED setting and affect patient outcomes and experiences.

“…We receive the funding, the prestige, and even (occasionally) the jobs. To assert a moral high ground against power players in the field of refugee intervention is also problematic because anthropology often mimics the worlds of knowledge and practice that we critique (Marcus and Holmes ): not only humanitarian actors but also police officers, bureaucrats, government officials, and others in structural positions of power (Gkintidis ; Jauregui ; Karpiak and Garriott ; Verdery ). In avoiding or denying anthropology's own ineluctable kinship with those who hold power (Malkki ), anthropologists may also further distance themselves from key actors in the very refugee regime that they study.…”

Metaphors of flooding and “flows” are often applied in the public sphere to the phenomena of displacement and migration, but there are also “waves” and “tides” of humanitarian actors, “voluntourists,” and researchers now focused on refugees. Humanitarian, security, and anthropological interventions in the European “refugee crisis” of 2015–16 often operate according to a shared logic of urgency and crisis. Key problems and pitfalls in current anthropological trends in the study of displacement on Europe's doorstep are linked to the business dimensions of anthropological work. The business of anthropology reinforces the European refugee regime, which makes border crossers into targets of policing, intervention, and study.

“…In short, ethnography should take place before normative conclusions. Anthropologists should, as Kevin Karpiak (2016) has discussed in relation to the anthropology of policing, treat what it means to be human as an open research question rather than a closed analytical category. While we might not agree with our criminalized or/and criminalizing interlocutors, the task is to explore how they perceive the world as something that is, to them, meaningful.…”

This introduction seeks to outline a contemporary anthropological approach to crime and criminalization, an “anthropological criminology 2.0.” This anthropological criminology distances the subfield from its social Darwinist connotations and instead etches itself clearly onto a social and political anthropological tradition. In doing so, the introduction moves from Malinowski’s initial functionalist and localist approach to present-day political and global orientations. It offers five distinct propositions for anthropological criminology to engage with in the future, which we believe are essential for future anthropological studies of crime and criminalization. With these as guidelines, we hope to fully revive a much-needed dialogue between criminology and anthropology. As we shall see, anthropological and ethnographic insights are currently in demand as global, yet poorly understood, forms of crime are developing alongside ever cruder and more amplified reactions to them.
