Research group Within this research group, we study sociological aspects of criminal phenomena, as well as the crime prevention work of government agencies and other actors.
In order to gain a deeper understanding of how crime can arise, be sustained and end, it is necessary to study how individuals’ life course, relationships and attitudes develop over time, as well as how decision-making at the individual level relates to structural and cultural influences at the group, organizational and societal level, including strategies to reduce crime. Our research projects have an interdisciplinary approach where we benefit from knowledge and methods from various disciplines in addition to criminology, such as organizational sociology, social psychology, human geography and economics. We investigate these phenomena through research methods that are suitable for analyzing complex systems, for example extensive surveys, geographical analysis and social network analysis.
Some examples from our ongoing research by the research group:
