![]() Thus we promised to create such a network after returning to Europe. The more we understood that in our home countries a change of paradigm in regard to conceptions of deviance took place, the more we thought it would be a good idea to connect all those innovative and critical initiatives together in Europe. We added similar stories about the subgroup-building of young criminologists in Germany (Arbeitskreis Junger Kriminologen, AJK) and the anti-psychiatry-movement of Basaglia in Italy. Those news had not yet been spread in Italy or Germany. He told us about the activities of the National Deviancy Conference in the UK. One was already taken by Stan Cohen, who taught a class at the School. At the School of Criminology we sat again together, this time in an office which consisted of six cubicles. When I moved in summer 1971 to the Bay Area to continue my research at the Center for the Study of Law and Society, UC Berkeley, Mario decided to follow me to the West Coast. At the end of our daily work Mario and I liked to go often to the gym and play pool billiard together. ![]() That appeared quite exotic to the Americans who use to conduct their academic life as a rat-race which allows no waste of time. While we spent the days at our offices, Mario surprised the Americans with his habit to close the door of his office each day after lunch and take a nap. I made research on plea bargaining in criminal cases. Mario was to collect material on youth gangs. Each of us had received a fellowship by the American Council of Learned Societies. From September 1970 until July 1971 we were both fellows in the Institute of Criminology, University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia. He, Stan Cohen and I planned, while sitting together in a UC Berkeley office, that a network of critical criminologists in Europe should be established. There would probably be no European Group without Mario Simondi’s engaged work as founder and subsequent secretary of the EG. There are many people who are not mentioned here but who provided inspiration and friendship to our members. Organise something big or small, celebratory or reflective, share it or keep it private.These pages are dedicated to members of the European Group who have died but who remain with us, continuing to inspire and stimulate us. If you like the idea of To Absent Friends, join in and help establish a new national institution. To Absent Friends will happen across Scotland - in public spaces, over social media, among friends, families and communities, and in people's minds and hearts. Unlike most festivals, events that take place as part of To Absent Friends are not bound by a particular time or venue. Held for the first time from 1-7 November 2014, T o Absent Friends will give people across Scotland an excuse to remember, to tell stories, to celebrate and to reminisce about people we love who have died. To Absent Friends, a People's Festival of Storytelling and Remembrance is an opportunity to revive lost traditions and create new ones. People who have died remain a part of our lives – their stories are our stories, yet many Scottish traditions relating to the expression of loss and remembrance have faded over time. Get involved in a new festival of storytelling and remembrance being initiated by Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief this November.
