Background

Katja Franko Aas is professor in Criminology at the Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law. She was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and studied at the University of Ljubljana where she in 1996 graduated at the Faculty of Law. Subsequently she moved to Norway and has since been working at the University of Oslo.

Special fields

Since completing her PhD in 2003 on the impact of information technology on contemporary penality, particularly sentencing, her research has been focused on two related areas:

  • the use of advanced information and communication technologies in contemporary crime control strategies, border controls in particular.
  • globalization processes and their impact on criminology and criminal justice.

She has been involved in several research projects and was among other project leader of Crime Control and Technological Culture, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. She is currently working on the project Crime Control in the Borderlands of Europe, funded by the European Research Council’s Starting Grants, about the impact of immigration on contemporary criminal justice agencies and patterns of crime control.
