I am a Professor of Criminology and since 2021 I work as a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Criminology. I am Director of Doctoral Studies at the department. I have recently been involved in a research project on consequences of imprisonment in Sweden. In a number of studies, I have also analysed aspects of  the Monastery activities formerly operated in Swedish prisons. Additionaly, my research has included different aspects of social exclusion and social problems, predominantly eviction, drug abuse and poverty, and their association with childhood living conditions and with criminal offending. I have also done work on well-being and future orientation in youth and its determinants and consequences, and on childhood family relations and somatic as well as psychiatric ill-health in adulthood.
