Research

I am a co-worker in a FORTE-project concerning measuring and improving the quality of assessments of stories of violence at Lund University. Apart from that my research concern risk assessments in social work investigations, but I am very interested in rule of law, family court, CPS, statistics, logics, motivation and cognitive aspects of social work. As a researcher, I am strongly drawn to interdisciplinary studies, and I happily combine different domains or knowledge to create more interesting studies. In addition, I try to collaborate with non-profit organizations that work with family court and CPS issues.
