Background and experience

In 2021, I completed my doctoral thesis which was based on extensive ethnographic field work in the Danish police. I explored how the police respond to organised crime and how proactive investigations unfold in the police. I have published articles and books about police science, proactive policing, intelligence-led policing and police research methodology. My current research involves miscarriages of justice and investigation ethics and police corruption and misconduct.
