Presentation

PhD student in Criminology at Malmö University. Studying crime and policing realities. My current work (dissertation) is on hot spot policing and its various implications. Teaching activities are in courses on criminological theories and research methods.

Among the rest, previous research was on crime concentration and spatial patterns of crime in Serbia, Covid-19 crime trends in England, cyberbullying among high-school students in Serbia.

I have several years of work experience as a frontline police officer in Nis (Serbia). Somehow contrary, I also have experience as a researcher at the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, where I advocated for democratisation, justice and human rights in Serbia. Research was policy-related on firearms and public safety reform, organized crime and illicit firearms trafficking in the Western Balkans, and public polls on perceived safety and trust in the institutions in Serbia.

I hold an MSc in Criminology and Social Research Methods at Lancaster University as a Chevening scholar. Before, I graduated from the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies (Belgrade) and completed an LLM (University of Nis).
