The results from the autumn travel habits survey show that a majority of the University’s staff (approx. 80%) get to and from work by walking, cycling or using public transport. This is a higher percentage than for other large organisations in Lund. However, there is potential for even more people to commute sustainably by investments in public transport and measures to promote cycling on campus.

Trots skärpta straff och ökade resurser till rättsväsendet visar forskningen inga tecken på att detta leder till minskad kriminalitet. – Vi vill problematisera att straff skulle vara det bästa alternativet, säger Tova Bennet, straffrättsforskare vid Lunds universitet.
