Den 1 juni blev ett 70-tal kriminologistudenter formellt kandidater i kriminologi vid kriminologiprogrammets avslutningsceremoni. I en tid där universitetet står inför utmaningar som artificiell intelligens och ökat politiskt inflytande, framhöll ceremonin vikten av mänsklig expertis och akademisk frihet. Avslutningsceremonin för Kandidatprogrammet i kriminologi markerar övergången från kriminolog

Måndag den 12 juni knivhögg en kvinna i Ängelholm en för henne okänd tioårig flicka. Händelsen är mycket ovanlig. Brottslighet mot barn begås oftast av personer i närmiljön, säger Patrik Olsson, lektor vid Rättssociologiska institutionen, till Sveriges radio P4 Kristianstad. Trots att det är sällsynt att okända personer angriper barn får det omfattande konsekvenser på flera samhällsnivåer. – För o

The region is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth and its polar bears and melting glaciers have become key symbols of climate change. But the Arctic, it seems, is not as well researched as we think it is. Since the Arctic covers some 14.5 million square kilometers, and conducting research in remote locations is very expensive, time consuming and often dangerous, the result is an extremely u

Growing forests can limit climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their biomass as they grow. How much carbon a forest stores varies between tree species, the forests age, weather conditions and how the forest is managed. Young growing forests store a lot of carbon, as the forest gets older the carbon sequestration capacity decreases. When trees are f

A forest management method different to those practised today would contribute to greater welfare and wellbeing for society in general, compared with current methods that mainly benefit the forestry industry. This has been shown in a new study by two researchers from Lund University in Sweden. There is an intensive debate at the moment about the best way to use the forest as a resource, not least
