About
I am a legal sociologist, and have previously worked at the Norwegian Police University College and in the Norwegian Ministry of Children and Families. I am particularly interested in topics related to crime prevention and standardized tools and methods within individual-oriented crime prevention.
My research interests include:
- Sociology of professions
- Structured professional assessments and standardization of work methods
- Discretion
- Deviance and social control
- Crime prevention, especially person-oriented crimeprevention work (social crime/community crime prevention)
- Use of risk and protective factors in preventive work
- Police culture and police officers' attitudes towards tools
- Intelligence-led policing and evidence-based policing
