My research interests lie at the intersection of comparative criminal law, sociology of law, dialectics of law-making, corporate crimes and social harm. I am especially interested in the regulation of corporate power and in the challenges it poses to traditional criminal law approaches. In my dissertation, I revisit the dilemma of corporate criminal liability as a regulatory response to corporate wrongdoing.

In Turku, I have been active in several comparative projects, including the research project on the alternative, non-penal approaches to tackle serious and organized crime as well as my individual research project founded by the Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology (NSfK) “The Formation of Labor Exploitation – Polish Workers in in Finland, Norway, and Sweden.” In this project, I examine the misuse of labor rights in a broader context of state-corporate crime scholarship.

In the framework of AALAW and Etairos, I expand both my doctoral research on regulated self-regulation and my general research interest in social harms enabled and facilitated in the state-corporate context.
