Anne is a PhD student at the Van Vollenhoven Institute (VVI) since 2023. Her research focuses on the collaboration between social professionals and law enforcement professionals in the safety domain, more specifically on the dilemma’s and tensions between care and (social) control that can emerge in community-based projects combining social justice and crime control policies, and how these are addressed.
