Kriminologene

Sine Vorland Holen er førsteamanuensis ved forsvarets høyskole og har fersk doktorgrad i kriminologi fra universitetet i Oslo. Avhandlingen hennes het Violence and intervention: Military justifications for enhancing human security, og den handler om arbeidet militæret gjør for å beskytte sivile i krig og væpnet konflikt. Hva slags rolle skal norske soldater på utenlandsoppdrag spille, og når og på hvilke måter skal de gripe inn for å hindre vold mot sivile?  Hvordan forstår militært personell situasjonen når de velger å gripe inn, og hva tenker de når de ikke gjør det?

Dorina Damsa is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Social Research in Oslo. Her research interests include crimmigration law, climate change, migration, and global inequality regimes. Her PhD dissertation in criminology from the University of Oslo from 2022 was called Women and Bordered Penality in the Nordic Welfare State. Here, she examined citizenship, punishment, and welfare in Norway and Denmark through extensive fieldwork with non-citizen women in penal institutions. She recently started a new project called Climate Change Adaptation, Dispossession and Displacement (ADD), where she is studying the gendered dimensions of displacement caused by climate change adaptation programs in coastal areas around the world. Here she continues her work on contemporary border control regimes and the human consequences of border policing.

Ben Crewe is a professor of criminology at the University of Cambridge. He is one of the founding editors of the academic journal Incarceration and one of the series co-editors of the book series Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology. Ben is interested in all aspects of prison life, in particular the prisoner experience, staff-prisoner relationships, prison management, and the impact of political, economic, and cultural factors on the nature of imprisonment. His latest project called 'Penal policymaking and the prisoner experience: a comparative analysis' – or COMPEN for short – is of particular interest to us Scandinavians. It is a large-scale and multifaceted comparison of imprisonment in two different jurisdictions, namely England and Wales and Norway. Of course, over the last 15 years or so, Scandinavian prisons, and perhaps Norwegian prisons in particular, have received a lot of attention from international scholars. The ongoing debate around so-called Scandinavian penal exceptionalism has however lacked a proper comparative empirical grounding. Does it make sense to say that Scandinavian penal systems and prison conditions are 'exceptional'? After more than a decade of research, we are no closer to a final, definitive answer. Will Ben and his COMPEN project colleagues finally set things straight once and for all?   PS: We had technical problems recording this episode. Unfortunately, the sound quality of my questions only is very poor. It sounds as if I were asking questions from within a heavy burlap sack. With a mask on. Sorry. It's only for the first 25 minutes or so, and Ben sounds good throughout, so I hope you'll still enjoy the episode.

Knut Mellingsæter Sørensen er førsteamanuensis ved Kriminalomsorgens høyskole og utdanningssenter KRUS. Knut disputerte nylig for doktorgraden i kriminologi ved Universitetet i Oslo med en avhandling som heter Hvem i helvete kommer nå? Kriminalomsorgsarbeid i en ekstraordinær kritisk situasjon. Avhandlingen handler om tiden etter terrorangrepet 22. juli 2011, da Ila fengsel og forvaringsanstalt i all hast måtte forberede seg på å ta imot terroristen Anders Behring Breivik. Breivik representerte noe helt nytt og ukjent for Ila og for de ansatte som jobbet der. Knut viser hvordan det var for organisasjonen og for enkeltansatte å forholde seg til det han kaller den ekstraordinære kritiske situasjonen som oppsto i og med at Breivik kom til Ila.

Yvonne Jewkes is a professor of criminology at the University of Bath in the UK. She is one of the founding editors of the of the two academic journals Crime, Media, Culture and Incarceration and she’s the series co-editor of the book series Palgrave studies in prisons and penology. Yvonne’s main research interests are prison architecture, design and technology and how they can assist in improving quality of life and wellbeing in prison, reducing trauma, improving prisoner-staff relations, and, ultimately, in rehabilitating offenders. In addition to all her empirical research, she has been part of several prison planning and design processes as a consultant. She is well aware of the dilemmas inherent in being a prison researcher who also participates actively in the building of new prisons, and in this episode, I ask her why she continues to take on these projects that inevitably put her an ethical tightrope.
