Martine S.B. Lie
Academic interests
Martine has broad experience in green criminology. Her PhD Project Large predator management versus the intrinsic value of animals is part of the larger project Criminal justice, wildlife Conservation and animal rights in the Anthropocene (CRIMEANTHROP). She investigates how Norway's management of wolves, brown bears, wolverines and lynx adapts to the Bern Convention, and how it influences the animals. This is done through observation of court cases on large predator hunts and analysis of verdicts from such cases, as well as in-depth interviews with judges, police and NGOs.
Martine has also investigated the enforcement and consequences of the Norwegian breed ban on “dangerous dogs”, based on in-depth interviews with police and dog owners. Green criminological perspectives, police research, labelling and risk theory were central in the analysis of the findings.
Courses taught
Martine teaches on KRIM2960/4960 Green Criminology, and has taught on KRIM2000 Central theoretical perspectives, KRIM2101 and KRIM1300 earlier semesters. She has also supervised a master student in political science.
