• "Criminal Law Theory -A New Norwegian Approach", (Project Leader).
  
  The programme is composed of three post.doc.-works, which together are meant to provide Norwegian criminal law with a more adequate criminal law theory as starting point for further research into criminal law.
  
  See further the web-page for the programme at http://www.uib.no/jur/forskning/eksterntfinansierte-prosjekter/criminal-law-theory-a-new-norwegian-approach
  
  
• "Theory in Practice: Risks and Responses in the Modern Criminal Law" (Project leader together with Linda Gröning).
  
  Among the most important current societal changes are the internationalisation of society and the development of a 'risk-society'. These changes have great impact on the development of the criminal law.
  
  The two projects (one post.doc.-project and one ph.d .-project) shall analyse different dimensions of the criminal law where these societal changes makes impact.
  
  The first project concerns the concept of danger and its role in the development of contemporary criminal law. The project seeks conceptual clarity as a resource for attempts at dealing with contemporary risks by means of the criminal law.
  
  The second project concerns the principles of choice of penal level and sentencing in Norwegian criminal law. This project seeks, first, to discuss possible principles guiding the choice of penal level and, secondly, to discuss the principles of sentencing, both in its institutional and substantial aspects. This project is of importance in view of the fact that higher level of repression is a central response to the mentioned contemporary societal challenges.
