Law permeates all human activity, from matters on the level of the individual to issues of major societal, political and economic significance, nationally and internationally. Legal research affects and can improve people’s lives and societal development. As the complexity of the surrounding world increases, so do the demands on and the significance of our research. The urgent research issues of t

Humanity is waging war on nature. This is suicidal. Nature always strikes back – and it is already doing so with growing force and fury. Biodiversity is collapsing. One million species are at risk of extinction. Ecosystems are disappearing before our eyes … Human activities are at the root of our descent toward chaos. But that means human action can help to solve it. The above cry for action come

The healthcare sector faces significant challenges in the coming years. There is an increased need for research with legal elements within the otherwise traditional medical and social sciences research. Particularly worrying is the changing population structure, which is expected to have significant consequences for society, not least because the consumption of care for the elderly population cons

The research area covers questions of how to p

A large amount of people applied for asylum in Sweden during 2015 and the subsequent years. In many cases, this meant the beginning of a gradual integration into the Swedish society. Integration implicate mutual expectations of inclusion into the society. Within the next few years, the amount of people with permanent or temporary residence permit, who have not obtained Swedish citizenship, are lik

Our research is based on two themes. We want to investigate how the judiciary treats people in vulnerable positions and how these people can make use of their legal rights. We are also interested in how the judicial system views individuals in relations to their context and to societal structures. One general inquiry is how the vulnerable subject is taken care of in regulation, organisation and tr

Legal history concerns the continuity and change of law in time and space. Why has law changed and developed to become what it is, and could the development have been different? What are the similarities and differences between different legal systems, and what are the historical explanations for these similarities and differences? These are questions that are analysed within legal history, and th

LEVIC is a cross-disciplinary research group with researchers from law, philosophy, cognitive psychology and statistics. Our research concerns legal fact-finding, especially criminal evidence.

Arbetsmiljöfrågor delas ofta in i den fysiska arbetsmiljön, inklusive säkerhet, och den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. Den fysiska arbetsmiljön är lättare att sätta upp regler för och följa upp. Man måste utbildas för att hantera kemikalier i ett laboratorium, vi har regelbundna skyddsronder och om något händer (som på nanolabbet nyligen) finns det rutiner och procedurer som ser till att begränsa even

Om statlig styrningDet har diskuterats i forskningspropositionen, i forskarsamhället och i media, frågan om vilken som är den bästa styrformen för Sveriges universitet. Lunds universitet är en statlig myndighet, på gott och ont. Fördelen är att myndighetsformen i välfinansierade tider säkerställer stabil finansiering och stöd, samt ställer krav på att upprätthålla en hög standard på forskning och

Kommunikation är svårt Ett inte helt ovanligt scenario för mig i rollen som prefekt är att jag själv tycker att all information har gått ut i ett ärende, men så får jag senare höra att nyckelpersoner inte har fått informationen. Och frågan blir alltid - om vi nu antar att informationen verkligen gick ut - om det är så att informationen gått ut till fel eller för få kanaler, eller om personen bara

"Det handlar om att känna sig trygg." Ungefär så lät reklamen som sändes ut i Danmark under min ungdomstid. Jag ska undvika att nämna företaget bakom, fast jag håller med om budskapet: Vi behöver känna oss lagom trygga för att kunna vara kreativa och våga lyfta blicken från de kortsiktiga lösningarna.Trygghet är ett brett begrepp. Det kan handla om att slippa utsättas för våld, hot eller otrevligh
