Ida Leibetseder
Ida Leibetseder is a university assistant and project collaborator at the ZiK and, thanks to her dual training in psychology and law, contributes know-how that combines both fields of knowledge. The application of quantitative and qualitative methods opens up new possibilities for legal and forensic research. She is particularly interested in the assessment of sentencing as human decision-making, as well as the interdisciplinary and intuitive components involved. As part of the COVIOCRIM project, she also has the opportunity to put her knowledge of forensic science to the test internationally.

Selected projects
►Intuition in criminal proceedings ? Should I pack an umbrella? Take out insurance? Our lives are full of prognostic decisions that require us to weigh up numerous factors. The criminal justice system must also face such challenges, for example when examining the likelihood of an offender reoffending and making suitable interventions to prevent future crimes. The law provides the courts with a way to do this. But what factors are taken into account in these decisions?
► COVIOCRIM is an interdisciplinary project funded by the Austrian Partnership Program for Higher Education and Research for Development (APPEAR) and implemented with funds from the Austrian Development Agency of the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, which is dedicated to combating violence against women and girls in Georgia. Through mutual exchange, interdisciplinary academic knowledge is to be pooled and structures and networks subsequently established in order to effectively and sustainably overcome the challenges of dealing with violence against women and girls.
