Research subject Crime trends
The extent of crime over time and space is one of the main areas of criminology and also something that the public has great interest in.
Stockholm university has a long tradition of research on the development of crime in both the short and the long term. An important theme concerns methodological issues, i.e. how we measure crime in different societies and at different points in history, but also how the development of crime may be explained.
