An international research project headed by the Sociology of Law Department has received sufficient funding.

The Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology grants Isabel Schoultz, researcher and Associate Senior Lecturer at the Sociology of Law Department, 1,400,000 SEK (approximately 135,000 €) to fund the research project ”Law in action - Policy and legal responses to the exploitation of migrant workers in the Nordic countries”. Together with researchers in Finland, Norway, and Denmark, Schoultz will investigate how the Nordic countries have differed when approaching and responding to problematic exploitation of migrant workers.
