Dr. Linda Kjær Minke specializes in research on incarceration, particularly focusing on the Danish principle of normalization which seeks to align prison conditions with societal norms (Minke, 2021). Her research explores multiple aspects of the experience of being incarcerated. One significant area of Dr. Minke's research is the investigation of prison food systems, with key works co-authored with colleagues (Smoyer & Minke, 2019; Vanhouche, Smoyer & Minke, 2018; Minke & Smoyer, 2017; Smoyer & Minke, 2015; Minke, 2014). She also examines the impact of dog programs in correctional settings on inmates (Minke, ongoing; Minke, 2017; Minke & Holm-Sørensen, 2015).
Furthermore, Dr. Minke delves into the interplay of the culture of order and social control within prisons, exploring their effects on prisoners' legal rights and overall experiences of incarceration (Minke, 2023; Kessing & Minke, 2022; Minke, 2021; Minke & Næsborg-Andersen, 2020; Minke, 2020; Minke & Gottrup, 2014). Her research also includes education and learning models within correctional facilities, emphasizing the importance of personal growth opportunities for inmates (Minke, 2023b). Dr. Minke's work continues to shape the field of incarceration studies, providing insights into life behind bars.
In addition to her work on incarceration, Dr. Minke's research covers general criminological topics such as crime trends (Minke, 2018; Mannov, Østergaard & Minke, 2020) and hate crimes legislation and trends (Minke & Elholm, Drud-Jensen et al. 2016). She also explores subjects like rape cases, partner violence, and partner homicide, including motives, prevention, and methodological challenges in estimating these crimes (Minke, 2021; Søberg et al., 2021; Minke & Eriksen, 2024; Minke & Keller, 2024; Baumbach et al. 2024). Finally, she engages in interdisciplinary research, collaborating with experts in law, history, psychology, social work, health, and design.
