Ida Nafstad
 

Ida Nafstad has a PhD from the Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law at the University of Oslo. She is currently employed as an Associate Senior Lecturer in Sociology of law at Lund University. Nafstad’s main research interest is law and marginalization – the excluding and integrating effects of legal orders. She is interested in exclusion of marginalized groups of the populations as it relates to criminal law and formal justice systems, the respond to this exclusion by means of creating other types of integrating mechanisms and informal legal orders, field specific norms, and social control, and the mutual effect and interrelation of exclusion and integration. These interests can be exemplified with studies of drug users on the streets of Oslo and the impact of law, privatization of public space, and social- and medical care on their everyday lives; the impact of the Israeli occupation on the justice- and security sector in Palestine; Roma non-state conflict resolution mechanism in Scandinavia and its relation to Scandinavian criminal justice systems; and how Swedish criminal courts handle a multicultural and pluralistic society through the case of Roma and their distinct legal culture. Nafstad is currently working with a research project called ‘The Social Construction of Parallel Society in the Swedish Public Discourse’. In this project she aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how vulnerable areas are portrayed and created in the public discourse about parallel society, whether and how the approaches of the state’s coercive powers in the areas are affected by that discourse, and how that correspond with the inhabitants’ understandings of the areas.
