Lennart Reddmann

Dr. Lennart Reddmann serves as a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law (CSL) in Freiburg, Germany, within the Criminology department. He leads the Independent Research Group on Behavioral Economics of Crime and Conflict, focusing on interdisciplinary investigations at the intersection of criminology and economic decision-making.

His research examines how behavioral economics principles explain criminal conduct and conflict dynamics through empirical and experimental methodologies. Key areas include cognitive biases in illegal decision-making, economic incentives influencing crime escalation/de-escalation, and conflict resolution mechanisms in criminal contexts. This work bridges criminology, psychology, and microeconomics to develop novel theoretical frameworks for understanding crime.
