Chantal van den Berg conducts empirical normative studies primarily focusing on sexual offending, sexual victimization, and labor market discrimination. Her current research builds on her dissertation, exploring juvenile sexual offending and its implications for victims. She is particularly interested in risk assessment related to sexual offending and the collateral consequences of criminal convictions, specifically the impact of certificates of conduct. At present, she co-supervises PhD projects aiming to utilize advanced research methods and statistics to study these issues, including projects examining public online disclosure of sexual victimization and mental health comorbidities in mentally ill prisoners. As a programme leader in a research group on victimization at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement, Chantal actively contributes to the development of effective evidence-based interventions for victims, thereby enhancing academic and practical understandings of this critical field.
