Carina Lindgren serves as a Lecturer at Umeå University's Unit of Police Work, based at Beteendevetarhuset (BET) in Umeå, Sweden. Her academic focus centers on innovative pedagogical approaches within police education, particularly through simulation-based methodologies.
Her research investigates practical knowledge development in vocational policing contexts, emphasizing preparation phases for scenario training, reflective practices, and the integration of computer simulations. Key interests include tacit knowledge acquisition, virtual reality applications, and evaluating how structured preparation impacts learning outcomes in high-stakes training environments.
Analysis of her publication timeline reveals an evolution from foundational work on simulation usefulness (2010) toward sophisticated examinations of virtual police cases and preparation-phase efficacy, demonstrating consistent contributions to evidence-based police training design over the past decade.
Scientific recognition:
- Distinguished university teacher
Lindgren led the Safety & Security Test Arena research project (2016-2019), securing institutional funding for scenario-training innovation. While specific student advisement isn't documented, her collaborative publications with Söderström, Sjöberg, and Åström indicate active mentorship in police education research.
