Annette Olesen's primary research areas include rehabilitation work in post-prison contexts, focusing on reentry barriers, informal and invisible punishment, and the collateral consequences faced by (re)offenders.

She specializes in criminology, sociology, and law, with expertise in prisoner re-entry, informal punishment, legal aid targeted at prisoners and ex-prisoners, and the impacts of criminal law policies. Her work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals aimed at reducing poverty and promoting justice and peace.
