The Nordic Police Research Seminar is an interdisciplinary conference that brings together researchers in different fields of science but has a common focus on issues related to the police organization, operations and training.
A special theme for the conference in Malmö 2025 is the challenges faced by the society regarding the development of serious and deadly violence with links to criminal groups and the increase in youths joining gangs, but also with an increase in organized crime with international links.
An urgent question is how the police, in cooperation with other actors in both the judiciary, social services and local and civil society, can handle this development. The development of serious violence and organized crime affects the development of society in general, criminal policy development, insecurity and fear of crime in society and the working conditions and safety of police officers and other actors. This development also places demand on well-researched police training so that newly trained police officers are prepared for the society they will work in.
