This research environment includes three research groups: (i) Feelings of unsafety, victimization and its consequences; (ii) Knowledge-Based Crime Prevention and Safety Promotion, and; (iii) The Development of Criminality - Risk and Protective Factors.
Centre for Violence Studies (CVS). This research environment includes one group from Criminology: Stalking and Intimate Partner Violence, SToP, and groups from other subjects/disciplines.
