Background and experience
I am a criminologist, and for many years I have worked on issues related to masculinity, youth crime, and violence, as well as gender equality—particularly from a male perspective. My research focuses on operational policing, and I have studied the police crisis and hostage negotiation unit (CHNU) and the tactical response unit (UEH). I also conduct research on challenges related to the recruitment of female tactical personnel, police culture, and gender equality within the police.
