Associate Professor

Experience and background

I am a criminologist and got my Ph.D. from The University of Oslo in 2019, with a thesis on police control room practices and decision-making. I am currently working on a project looking into the introduction of drones in the Norwegian police, studying how new technologies shape and recreate police practices. My field of interest is the becoming of knowledge and use of technology, especially within operative policing. My previous research includes the politics of crime, zero tolerance and broken windows policing.
