I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department Police Work at Södertörns University in Stockholm, Sweden. I received Ph.D in Psychology from Linköpings University. My research interests focus on the quality of the interaction between law enforcement agencies and the relatives of criminals involved in illegal activities. In particularly the research focuses on increase understanding of the role of relatives in criminal investigations and inform the development of strategies to enhance collaboration and cooperation between law enforcement agencies and affected communities

Ongoing Research Projects:

The police may need to contact them to gather information. To investigate existing research on how relatives of individuals involved in gang crime experience contact and treatment by the police. Focus will on be identifying factors perceived as supportive or facilitating in contact during the criminal investigation process.
