Her main research areas are qualitative methods, crime, social work, risk-taking, and youth studies.

I’m also part of a collaborative project on decision making in child protection cases and the everyday lives in foster care families, says Tea Torbenfeldt Bengtsson.
Her recent publications can be read in the Berkeley Journal of Sociology, Qualitative Research, and Men and Masculinity.
