Active research projects

• The Domestic Violence Research Programme

  The programme studies time trends in the prevalence of violence and assault, violence as phenomenon, and how violence is approached by the welfare- and justice systems.

• Inequality in Youth – A Qualitative, Longitudinal Research Database

  Inequality in youth is a qualitative, longitudinal research database on youths in Norway, intended to be a parallel to the quantitative Ungdata surveys.

• Sexual Culture in Youth

  The project will investigate how young people negotiate, experience and handle issues related to sexuality, sexual health and risk - in light of both contemporary youth culture, and other social and societal conditions.

• Tomorrow’s Inequalities in the Making

  In LIFECHANCES we investigate how differences between young people may become inequalities in life chances over time.

• Youth Sexuality and Sexual Risk in a Digital Era (DIGISEX)

  The project will shed light on how digital media has created both new opportunities and new forms of risk concerning youth sexuality.

• Digitizing Sexual Violence

  The rapid technological development has changed how sexual violations are committed, investigated, and prosecuted within the legal system. The project examines the intersection of law and technology in relation to these changes.

• Children and Young People in Sport – Knowledge for a More Inclusive Sports Sector

  What influences Norwegian children and young people's participation in organised sport – and who gets left behind?

• The Sexual Culture Study – A Qualitative Interview Study and Database (UNGSEX)

  How do young people negotiate and navigate questions related to sexuality, sexual health and risk. What are the reasons that so many end up committing or being subjected to sexual violations during precisely this period of life?
