Undervisning
Jag undervisar på grund- och avancerad nivå i rättspsykologi och är delad kursledare för kurserna Rättspsykologi (30 hp) och Legal psychology: Current research (15 hp). Jag undervisar även om förhörsmetodik och rättspsykologi på polisprogrammet samt kandidatprogrammet i polisiärt arbete vid Akademin för polisiärt arbete, Högskolan i Borås.
Jag handleder kandidat och masteruppsatser i psykologi. Om du vill skriva uppsats inom något av mina forskningsområden kan du kontakta mig via e-mail med en förfrågan om handledarskap.
Forskningsområde
Rättspsykologi, minnespsykologi, utvecklingspsykologi
Min forskning riktar främst in sig på förhörsmetodik med barn och vuxna, vittnespsykologi, utredningspsykologi, sexualbrott mot barn, brott i nära relation, och beslutsfattande i rättsliga sammanhang.
Jag har tilldelats flera pris för min forskning om polisförhör med förskolebarn, bland annat "the PhD Award" av the European Association of Psychology and Law och "Årets avhandling" av Psykologiska institutionen, Göteborgs Universitet. Du kan läsa mer om dessa studier här.
