Kristina Kepinska Jakobsen

Assistant Professor

Experience and background

I have a degree in psychology from Copenhagen University and a PhD from the University of Oslo, Faculty of Law, Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law. The topic of my research is how the police can be supportive, and at the same time objective, when interviewing traumatized victims. In addition, I am responsible for two post graduate studies: "Investigative interview of vulnerable persons" and "Investigative interview of adults". For the last couple of years I have been working on revising the Norwegian police training program in investigative interviewing; KREATIV.
