One goal is to identify risk and protection factors for violence in order to develop effective treatment methods adapted to the individual and thus prevent recidivism and, by extension, reduce the practice of violence. Our field is interdisciplinary and we have employees from different backgrounds and different fields, such as law, psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience.
Collaborations
We work closely with the research group Forensic Epidemiology, with whom we also share research environment, and Rättsmedicinalverket (the National Board of Forensic Medicine).
Furthermore, we have active collaborations with Stockholms Universitet (Juridicum, Department of Psychology and SUBIC), Region Stockholm and Rättspsykiatrisk vård Stockholm, Institutionsstyrelsen (SiS), CELAM at Göteborgs universitet, Örebro universitet and Marie Cederschiöld högskola.
