Titti and Ulrika’s current joint research project deals with juvenile crime and delinquency issues in connection with gang activity. They are looking at how the courts treat these youth in public and administrative courts, in juvenile justice cases, and in juvenile delinquency cases. They are interested in how the fact that a youth is in a certain “structure” – a gang – is discussed by the courts. They are focusing the interaction between the legal tradition of looking at the individual apart from his or her surroundings and the practice of actually including the social surroundings, at least implicitly, in the discussion of evidence.
