Katarina Fritzon

Dr. Katarina Fritzon's research interests are broadly in the area of crime and interpersonal risk management, encompassing her primary focus on the psychology of deliberate fire-setting; as well as investigating the construct of the psychopathic personality within the workplace. She is also interested, more generally, in personality pathology and its link to offending behaviour, and the relationship between trauma and violence. Dr. Fritzon's PhD was on the topic of deliberate fire-setting, and herself and other colleagues have subsequently developed a treatment program for this offence. Simultaneously, she has pursued research in the areas of personality pathology in general and psychopathic personality in particular. Dr. Fritzon is currently engaged in several inter-related research studies, under a program of research collaboration, with a colleague from the field of Business Management in the United States.
