Profile
Jasmina’s research focuses on youth culture, youth crime, the links between school exclusion and youth offending, and the effectiveness and fairness of responses to juvenile delinquency. She is interested in understanding and preventing systemic and institutional discrimination against children (and, consequently, adults) in education, child protection, and youth justice. Jasmina has applied Bourdieu and critical sociology to criminology. She has recently also engaged in comparative criminology, crime policy, and translating criminological theories into practice in relation to young people.
