Conflicting thought styles? – Responsibility and accountability in the education of Swedish police officers
This paper discusses how Swedish police education actors navigate the act of introducing new police officers to tasks in an organisation permeated by a new public management ideology. This study’s empirical data derive from four studies on intra-professional police educators and police probationers. By interpreting and analysing these data using a theoretical framework based on styles of thought and reflexivity, a picture of how Swedish police or…
Developing sports with a children’s rights perspective? Intentions, methods, and priorities of development projects in local Swedish sports clubs
The purpose of this study is to analyze the planned development of sport practice regarding children's rights through project applications from Swedish sports clubs within the Lift for Sport programme. The study on which this paper reports uses data from a large-scale research project that evaluated this sport-for-all programme and is based on an analysis of 2563 applications within five different national sports organizations.

More of the same instead of qualitative leaps
Between 2007 and 2011, the Swedish government added 50 million Euro per year to the budget of the Swedish Sports Confederation (RF) for a Sports for All programme (SfA), Idrottslyftet (The Lift for Sport), with the aim of engaging more children and youth, especially those from underrepresented groups. The programme manifesto stated that all activities should be based on gender and equality perspectives and be permeated by the regular RF policy pr…
Learning to be a police officer. Tradition and change in the training and professional lives of police officers
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the usefulness of a model for empirical studies of conservative and innovative forces in police training and the professional lives of police officers. The model is based on frame factor theory and is demonstrated against Swedish police research and the authors’ own observations and experiences of the Swedish police organization and police training. The authors conclude that the model can be used to d…
Perspectives on the meaning of children’s sport for adulthood
This article is about what participation in organized sport in childhood and youth means for growing up and how it influences values in adulthood. In 2000 the results of interviews with parents and children relating to football and golf were presented. Those results showed that learning processes differ between football and golf: socialization in football corresponds to the methods and aims of child rearing in lower social strata and in golf with…
Cross-Cultural Comparison of Motivation to Learn in Physical Education
The present study compared differences between Japanese and Swedish schoolchildren in learning motivation-related variables in physical education. The subjects were 1,562 Japanese fifth and sixth graders (776 boys and 786 girls) ranging in age from 10 to 12 years and 573 Swedish fifth graders (306 boys and 267 girls) from 10 to 13 years (M = 11.4, SD = 0.5). They completed three questionnaires to evaluate the children's learning motivation, facto…
