Nordic Research Council for Criminology

En idyllisk hilsen fra svært lærerike dager i Skåne med flotte nordiske kollegaer! Anja Emilie Kruse, Carolina Överlien og jeg, fikk gleden av å holde hver vår presentasjon om ulik tematikk innenfor vårt prosjekt Drawing the Line / Seksuell vold i unges nære relasjoner: https://lnkd.in/dYGABBJe Jeg presenterte: "Young People with Sexual Offence Convictions and “Ungdomsstraff”: Combining punishment with facilitation of change and rehabilitation?" Carolina presenterte: "Identifying Sexual Abuse in Same-Sex Relationships: Turning Points and Meta-Narratives" Og Anja presenterte: "The Monster's Dilemma. Integration, Non-Integration and "Knifing Off" of Sexual Violence Perpetration in the Self-Narratives of Young Men in Norway" En stor takk til Heidi Mork Lomell og gjengen i Nordic Research Council for Criminology NKVTS (Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies)

Tak til Nordic Research Council for Criminology for et rigtig godt seminar med mange spændende oplæg fra nordiske kriminologer. Jeg var glad for at fortælle om fund fra mit 'newish' studie om rekruttering af børn og unge til alvorlig narkotikakriminalitet. Fra Center for Rusmiddelforskning var vi stærkt repræsenteret: Nina Korshøj holdt oplæg hybrid narkotikasalg, Luna Kragh Andersen fortalte om udfordringerne ved at lave forsking i fængsler, og Jeanett Bjønness fortalte om fund fra hendes spændende studie af sugardating.

Next week, our annual research seminar will take place in Åhus, Sweden. For three days, researchers from all Nordic countries will present papers on Youth crime: Causes, development and policy. Check out the program: https://lnkd.in/dp4kPxQx

🎉 We are excited to announce the publication of our most recent study, "Online Polarization and Identity Politics: An Analysis of Facebook Discourse on Muslim and LGBTQ+ Communities in Finland," in Scandinavian Political Studies. This critical piece of research, a key component of the Hate Speech Project and funded by the Nordic Research Council for Criminology, was spearheaded by myself and Tommi Kotonen. Our collaborative effort with the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) and the University of Jyväskylä has allowed us to thoroughly analyze Facebook interactions spanning four years. Our findings uncover distinctive patterns of engagement and sentiment directed towards Muslim and LGBTQ+ communities, shedding light on the complex dynamics of online discourse and its implications for societal perceptions and interactions. This research not only highlights the divergent societal acceptance and challenges faced by these communities but also emphasizes the strategic use of social media by political actors, shaping public discourse and social identity dynamics. Grounded in the robust framework of Social Identity Theory, our findings contribute significantly to understanding the complex landscape of online political discourse and its profound impacts on social cohesion and tolerance. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Nordic Research Council for Criminology for their support and to our co-authors for their dedication to advancing this critical field of study. Dive into our publication to explore the intricate interplay of online polarization, identity politics, and their societal implications. #HateSpeechProject #SocialIdentity #OnlineDiscourse #PublicPolicy #ResearchPublication https://lnkd.in/dQwzHCUz

Finally, our article “Same-same or different? Nordic policy responses to the exploitation of migrant workers” is out now in Nordic Journal of Criminology.   Together with Natalia Ollus, Isabel Schoultz and Synnøve Økland Jahnsen, we compare how the nation states of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden have responded to exploitation of labour migrants through the policies against ‘human trafficking’, ‘forced labour’, ‘social dumping’ and ‘work-related crime’ since 2000 and up until today.
