Inaugural Lecture by Veroni Eichelsheim
Why does deviant behavior concentrate in certain families? What mechanisms are at play? And what explanations exist for the occurrence of intergenerational resilience? These questions are at the heart of Veroni Eichelsheim's research. On September 15th, she will deliver her inaugural lecture at the Academy Building.
Veroni Eichelsheim, endowed professor at the University of Groningen and senior researcher at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), holds the chair of "Intergenerational Continuity of Deviant Behavior." Within this chair, she investigates deviant developmental trajectories across multiple generations and also examines interventions for these families.
Eichelsheim’s research focuses on the development of children and adolescents, parenting, problem behavior and delinquency, children of criminal parents, and the intergenerational transmission of issues. For this reason, the chair is housed within the unit of Developmental Psychology.
Eichelsheim is pleased with the collaboration between the University of Groningen and the NSCR. "Interdisciplinary collaboration is indispensable for researching intergenerational patterns of deviant behavior and working together with practice and policy partners to find effective ways to break these patterns. By establishing this chair, I hope to make a contribution."
