Mr. dr. L.M. (Michelle) Bruijn

Dr. Michelle Bruijn is an Associate Professor at the Department of Legal Methods at the Faculty of Law, University of Groningen. Her main fields of research are public order, safety, and health, with a particular focus on the regulation of cannabis and tobacco, the fight against drug-related (organized) crime, drug-related evictions, and the protection of the right to housing. She is fascinated by the interaction between different areas of law (e.g., private, criminal, and administrative law). She combines traditional doctrinal legal research with (quantitative) empirical methods and data science techniques to study these interactions.
