The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

Detaljerna om händelsen i Örebro är fortfarande mycket begränsade. Tyvärr finns det heller ingen omfattande svensk forskning på området. 2022 publicerade vi dock en artikel om svenska s.k. lone actors, som möjligtvis kan vara av intresse.

"svensk forskning blundar för samhällshoten" Stämmer det?

"Situationen när det gäller forskning om systemhoten är inte så dålig som det framställts. Men bristen på flexibilitet försvårar för tvärvetenskaplig forskning, skriver Rostami, Arrhenius och Tersman." www.svd.se/a/0Q6dxE/mis...

Mycket bra av Amir Rostami mfl om att det faktiskt finns en hel del forskning om organiserad brottslighet även om mer behövs, och om att forskningsfinansieringens organisering är ett av hindren för sådan tvärvetenskaplig forskning

I vår senaste debattartikel skriver vi att Näringslivet behöver involveras i en mobilisering mot brottslighet, bland annat genom inrättandet av ett nationellt näringslivsråd mot organiserad brottslighet.
