Stefan Holgersson

Professor II

Experience and background

I am professor of police science, and docent (professor ll) in information system development at Linköping University. In addition, I work as a police officer in Sweden, and have done so for 26 years. I have researched police activities for over 20 years, with an interdisciplinary focus. Right now I am studying, among other things, parallel legal systems in areas that are socio-economically vulnerable, and the police's opportunities to counteract polarization and radicalization in society.
