Om Amber Beckley
Om Amber L. Beckley, PhD, docent
Amber är kriminolog och hennes forskning fokuserar på hur utvecklingsfaktorer påverkar brottslighet och utsatthet för brott genom livsloppet. Hennes nuvarande forskning rör risker med och konsekvenser av kriminella samarbeten.
Under 2024–2025 arrangerar Amber tillsammans med kollegorna Anne Sofie Tegner Anker (Rockwool Foundation), Brittany Evans (Örebro universitet), Antti Latvala (Helsingfors universitet) och Torbjørn Skardhamar (Universitetet i Oslo) en serie möten vid Institutet för framtidsstudier om biopsykosocial kriminologisk teori och kritik i Norden. Initiativet finansieras av Nordiska samarbetsrådet för kriminologi.
Forskningsprojekt
Amber är för närvarande co-principal investigator för 4C – The Swedish Consortium for the study of Contemporary Criminal Collaboration, tillsammans med Amir Rostami (huvudansvarig PI) och Hernan Mondani (co-PI). Projektet finansieras av Vetenskapsrådet.
Amber var principal investigator för projektet “Childhood psychosocial and environmental predictors of crime and victimization across life”, finansierat genom ett anslag på 2,875 miljoner kronor från Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
Amber var även co-investigator i projektet “What happened in Sweden over the last 40 years?”, finansierat genom ett anslag på 4,9 miljoner kronor från Forskningsrådet för hälsa, arbetsliv och välfärd (Forte). Projektet undersöker hur invandring har påverkat brottsutvecklingen i Sverige under de senaste 40 åren.
