Despre autor
Yinthe graduated in 2016 as Master Criminology at Ghent University. She then performed a systematic review concerning police accountability for a short-term project at that same university. From 2017 until January 2018, she worked at the Flemish Government on policy-related research regarding ethnicity. In February, she started her Ph D on Belgian police officers’ (ethical) decision-making processes, again at Ghent University. It concerns a mixed-methods research project combining surveys, interviews, systematic social observations, focus groups and a scoping review. The latter is reported in this book.
Yinthe’s research interests among others include police decision-making, police organizations, victimization, ethics and methodological issues. She is interested in both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
