Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Adaptive and flexible approaches based on implementing different measures as new information emerges have been proposed as a way of enabling robustness towards uncertain future climate change. However, the success of flexible approaches in practice depends on the stability of the relevant organizational landscapes. In this paper, we draw upon key insights from the institutional theories of organizations and research on public administration and climate adaptation in Sweden. We argue that potential organizational instabilities pose a substantial challenge for the mainstreaming of flexible approaches to climate adaptation. Given the unstable character of the relevant organizational landscape in a very stable country such as Sweden, it seems reasonable to also seriously doubt the capacity of the relevant authorities in less stable countries to carry out a great number of monitoring-intensive, and hence attention-demanding, adaptive governance processes over time. Based on our results we argue that it is perilous to simply assume that flexible approaches to climate adaptation will lead to greater robustness.

Fyra för landet nya skalbaggar funna i Häckeberga, Skåne
- 2016
-
In: Entomologisk tidskrift. - 0013-886X. ; 137:1-2, s. 51-57
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Four species of Coleoptera, not previously reported from Sweden are presented; Euconnus campestris (Schaufuss, 1866) (Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae), Scopaeus ryei Wollaston, 1872 (Staphylinidae: Paederinae), Acritus homoeopaticus Wollaston, 1857 (Histeridae) and Ephistemus reitteri Casey, 1900 (Cryptophagidae). They have all been collected using car net in an area next to the lake Häckeberga in Scania in southrnmost Sweden. The area is characterized by beech forests and marshes. Also, when working with Swedish specimens of Euconnus, we found that E. pragensis have been incorrectly reported from Sweden and has to be omitted from the Swedish list.

Studies of the Photochromic Properties of the System CuCl(s)-H2O(l) Using Auger Electron Spectroscopy
- 1977
-
In: Journal of Photochemistry. - : Elsevier BV. - 0047-2670. ; 7:1, s. 51-58
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The photochromic disproportionation of Cu+ into Cu2+ and Cu0 has been studied in the system CuCl(s)---H2O(l) by obtaining Auger electron spectroscopy measurements of copper in CuCl. The MMM Auger spectrum of CuCl consists mainly of one broad peak with a maximum at an energy 4 eV lower than the two main peaks in the spectrum of metallic copper. In photochromic coloured CuCl only one additional peak appears within the energy range of the peaks of metallic copper, but in the spectrum of CuCl exposed to a concentrated electron beam both metallic copper peaks are visible. This provides experimental evidence that photochemically produced metallic copper clusters in CuCl are extremely small compared with the metallic copper particles formed during electron exposure.

A Life-Course Analysis of Engagement in Violent Extremist Groups
- 2020
-
In: British Journal of Criminology. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0007-0955 .- 1464-3529. ; 60:1, s. 74-92
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this exploratory study, individuals’ processes of engagement in violent extremist groups are analysed by drawing from criminological life-course theory and narrative-based understandings of crime. Based on interviews with individuals who have participated in violent extremism, it is suggested that the process of engagement consists of three steps: (1) a weakening of informal social controls, followed by (2) an interaction with individuals in proximity to the group and (3) a stage of meaning-making in relation to the group and one’s identity, resulting in an individual’s willingness and capacity to engaging in the group’s activities, including violence. In future theorizing about processes of engagement in violent extremism, the meanings of age, and the life-course stages of late adolescence and emerging adulthood in particular, should be given analytic attention.

Age, Gender, and Crime in a Stockholm Birth Cohort to Age 64
- 2021
-
In: Journal of developmental and life course criminology. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2199-4641 .- 2199-465X. ; 7:3, s. 359-384
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We study the criminal histories of 14,608 males and females in a full Stockholm birth cohort born in 1953 to age 64. Using an update of The Stockholm Birth Cohort Study data, we explore the amount of crimes recorded in the cohort before and after the advent of adulthood. We break down the age/crime curve into separate parameters, including onset, duration, and termination. Throughout, we utilize the large number of females (49%; n = 7 161) in the cohort, and compare long-term patterns of male and female criminal careers. Next, we focus on adulthood, and explore the existence and parameters of the adult-onset offender and its contribution to the overall volume of crime in the cohort. While crime peaks in adolescence, the main bulk of crimes in the cohort occurred after the dawning of adulthood. Nearly half of all male, and more than two-thirds of all female, crimes in the cohort occurred after age 25. In the case of violence, the majority of offences - around two-thirds for both genders - took place in adulthood. Around 23% of all males and 38% of all females with a criminal record in the cohort were first recorded for a criminal offence in adulthood. While a majority were convicted only once, a proportion of adult-onset offenders had a considerable risk of recidivism and repeated recidivism. These results suggest that quite a substantial proportion of the population initiate crime in adulthood, and that these offenders account for a nonnegligible proportion of adult crime.

Continuities and Changes in Criminal Careers
- 2014
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The best predictor of future criminal behavior is past criminal behavior. At the same time, the vast majority of people who engage in crime are teenagers and stop offending with age. Explaining these empirical findings has been the main task of life-course criminology, and contributing to an understanding of how and why offenders continue their criminal careers once they have started, and how and why they stop, is also the purpose of this dissertation.To do this, the dissertation studies a number of facets of the criminal career: the importance of childhood risk factors (Paper I), the notions of turning points (Paper II) and intermittency (Paper III), and the connection between masculinities and criminal careers (Paper IV). In contrast to much life-course criminological research, the dissertation mainly relies on qualitative life history interviews, collected as part of The Stockholm Life Course Project.The findings suggest a need for increased sensitivity to offenders’ lives, and their complexity. Whereas continuity and change can be understood within a frame of age-graded social control, this perspective needs to be extended and developed further, in mainly three ways. First, the concept and phenomenon of human agency needs closer study. Second, lived experiences of various forms of social stratification (e.g. gender, ethnicity, and so on) must be integrated into understandings of continuity and change in crime, seeing as phenomena such as social control may be contingent on these in important ways. Third, this dissertation highlights the need to go beyond the transition to adulthood and explore the later stages of criminal careers.In closing, the dissertation suggests that we move toward a focus on the contingencies of criminal careers and the factors, events, and processes that help shape them. If we understand those contingencies in more detail, possible implications for policy and practice also emerge.
