It's Dr. Krüsselmann now!

Last week, I got to defend my dissertation on firearm violence in Europe, after working on it for four(ish) years.

Very thankful for the engaging questions of my defence committee (including @jkivivuori.bsky.social @joakimsturup.bsky.social) and support of my promotors!

Huge turnout at the anti budget cut demonstrations in the Hague. The cuts are shortsighted, disenfranchise students, stiffle innovation, hurt young scholars, create talent loss, undercut future growth.

WHO really wants this? #DoeHetNiet

New job alert 🚨

As of this month, I started as a postdoctoral researcher at the Erasmus University Rotterdam!
In the upcoming years, my research will focus mostly on police-youth interactions and inequalities in the criminal justice system.

Voor wie het nog niet had gedaan, lees dit vlammende en messcherpe essay van @ingridrobeyns.bsky.social over de universiteit in de samenleving en de motieven achter de catastrofale bezuinigingen: t.co/D1gMLK1bsJ

After four years of doing research on gun violence in Europe, the only thing left to do is to defend my dissertation! 🎉

21 November, 1pm (Amsterdam time)

To anyone interested: the defense is public and everyone can attend. There is also a livestream! ⬇️

First business at the #ESC / #Eurocrim: attending the meeting of the European Network for Open Criminology #ENOC!

Loads of interesting panels related to #openscience this year 🔓

I've set up a starter pack of people who post to Bluesky about crime analysis and crime prevention. See the list and all their posts at: go.bsky.app/Eq5g8c5

(If you think I've forgotten someone, please let me know!)

In a new research report for Project Insight, I argue that we rely too much on firearm homicide in research, law enforcement & policy making. Instead, we should regard firearm violence as a continuum, in which the majority of firearm violence remains non-lethal.

Today's the day! Come join @mattashby.bsky.social, Maureen Haaker, @isabellevdv.bsky.social and me and our webinar on "Data Sharing in Criminological Research: Tips and How-To's", organized by the European Network for Open Criminology.

Setting up a new course is so much fun, especially when I get to decide that it is absolute necessary for the students to talk 3 hours about firearms and drugs.
Gotta love working in criminology!

My first post here is to remind you about the upcoming webinar on Data Sharing in Criminology (29 Nov), organised by the newly established European Network for Open Criminology. Sign up below! www.eventbrite.es/e/webinar-da...

Grateful to have participated in the Second International Conference on 3D Printed Firearms this week. The conference brought together experts from law enforcement, legislation, the industry and research.
Valuable discussions for the evaluation of this phenomenon!

The first complete (but not final) version of my PhD. (Title not definite).

Now it‘s time to cry a little (out of joy and exhaustion) and sleep a lot (or at least until tomorrow when the new teaching block starts).

Hi there! My name is Katharina Krüsselmann & I am currently finalizing my PhD on firearm violence in Europe.
Here, I will mostly post about (firearm) violence, explosives, open science, criminology, PhD life and you may spot a pic of my dog here and there.
