About the Project">

The aim of our project is to explore the intersection between social work and policing in three European welfare states: Switzerland, Sweden, and Ireland. We will empirically analyze how social work professionals refer cases to the police and perform roles related to policing and crime control.

Theoretical Background

We will assess how the incorporation of policing functions into social work influences professionals' engagement with structurally marginalized groups and reshapes the broader societal role of social work.

Methodology

Our project will provide a comprehensive mapping of the continuities and differences in the social welfare-crime control nexus across various European welfare regimes. It will also generate policy recommendations to ensure the preservation of social work values and objectives.

Job Description

As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will be responsible for conducting research on the intersections between social work and policing. You will work closely with the project lead to develop research designs, collect and analyze data, and disseminate findings.
