Rethinking victimhood
This article reconsiders Nils Christie's notion of the ideal victim by shifting attention from fixed typologies to the narrative processes through which legitimacy is constructed. Although Christie emphasized the cultural contingency of victimhood, contemporary debates often treat the ‘ideal victim’ as a static category. Drawing on narrative victimology and youth victimization research, this article argues that victimhood is not a binary status b…
Using the model After the Child Forensic Interview (Acfi) as a motivator for interventions after child welfare investigations
Due to the consequences of child abuse, it is important that authorities act on suspicions of abuse to stop it and offer support and interventions. After the Child Forensic Interview (ACFI, in Swedish Efter barnförhöret ) is a model that aims to offer information and support to parents and children, and to motivate parents to accept interventions, which are mostly voluntary and typically require parental consent, to end the abuse. Based on interv…

Family social workers’ experiences of using the Swedish model after the child forensic interview
Children interviewed by the police in cases of suspected child abuse may experience emotional distress. Simultaneously, parents face the dual challenge of being suspects in the investigation while also striving to support their child’s well-being. To offer children and their parents information and support in such cases, social workers in Sweden developed the model After the Child Forensic Interview (ACFI, sw. Efter barnförhöret). This study aims…

Children’s Rights and Their Life Situation in Domestic Violence Shelters—An Integrative Review
The aim of this systematic integrative review was to review existing research on children in domestic violence shelters, and specifically to examine previous research on how shelters contribute to children’s life situation after leaving a violent home. The review includes 28 scientific articles published between 1984 and 2021. These were thematically analyzed and discussed using a children’s rights perspective to identify strengths and limitation…
I Put Her in the Baby Stroller and Left
Little is known about mothers’ and children's escape from violence and its aftermath when living in secure accommodation, especially with regard to children. The aim is to investigate mothers’ experiences of their escape, and their considerations regarding the well-being of their young children before or during their escape, based on 14 interviews. Using a narrative thematic analysis, the results show that the escape was often planned, but that t…
The Process of Leaving a Domestic Violence Shelter for Mothers and Children
Domestic violence (DV) shelters provide a safe place for women and children; however, they are only intended to be a temporary solution until residents can find a safe place of their own. In Sweden, the social services are responsible for helping and supporting victims of DV to get away from the violence, which can include everything from practical help and housing to emotional support. The present article aims to investigate mothers' description…
Involving children and young people in research on domestic violence and housing
Children’s and young people’s opinions and experiences are important to listen to, as they offer perspectives that adults might not be aware of otherwise. Yet children are often viewed as a vulnerable group in need of protection, with adults talking for them instead of letting them speak for themselves. Sometimes this might be the correct decision. However, it is also important to let children and young people participate in research on their own…
Navigating professionals’ conditions for co-production of victim support
From previous research it is well known that victimization can have various short- and long-term consequences resulting in a need for support to cope with the victimization. Research also shows, however, that not all victims of crime seek or receive support. One cause of this might be the conditions and constraints that affect professionals’ matching of support services with individual victims’ needs. The purpose of the present conceptual paper i…
Same, same but different
Sweden and Germany are often compared, which suggests that much can be learned from each country. One aspect that needs further investigation concerns support for young victims of crime. The study therefore compares the Swedish and German welfare systems’ handling of young victims who need support after victimization, to see what can be learned from each respective country. The comparisons make it clear that both countries’ support systems develo…
Pioneering the use of technologies in qualitative research – A research review of the use of digital interviews
Covid-19 has changed the way research can be conducted. The present literature review, based on 29 studies (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020), investigates and compiles existing research to identify possibilities and limitations of using digital interviews within social work, sociology and adjacent disciplines. The results show that digital interviews can enhance long-distance participation, and that th…
Victimization and school
Victimization early in life can have several serious consequences, one of which concerns young people’s schoolwork. The present study therefore aims to investigate what support young people need to keep up with their schoolwork, based on their needs following victimization. The material consists of narrative interviews with 19 young people who were the plaintiffs at trials when they were 15–19 years old. The results show that several of the young…
Safeguarding personal integrity while collecting sensitive data using narrative interviews – a research note
Narrative interviews with young victims of crime can provide information regarding their unique situations and how the victimization has affected their lives. However, the method can be intrusive, and not all young people are able to safeguard their personal integrity. This research note offers reflections on the use of narrative interviews with young victims of crime, and on interview situations that raised ethical quandaries about whether to di…
Vulnerability Factors among Women Victimized by Intimate Partner Violence and the Presence of Children
This study aimed to a) examine the presence of children in relation to victim vulnerability factors and assessed risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) re-victimization, and b) examine the police response, in terms of risk management, in IPV cases with and without children, respectively. Data from a sample of 1407 women who had reported IPV victimization to the Swedish police was analyzed. The material consisted of risk assessments conducted by…
Like an Equal, Somehow” – What Young People Exposed to Family Violence Value in Counseling
One way for young people to reduce the risk of problems associated with having experienced family violence is to talk about their experiences with a counselor. However, little is known about how young people judge the quality of such relationships. The aim of this study was to analyze what young people describe as valuable in their relationship with the counselor with whom they talked about experiences of family violence. Fourteen semi-structured…
Young victims’ positioning
The present study aims to analyze how young people narratively negotiate their position as victims, how their social surroundings react to their victim positioning and what types of support they are offered. It is argued that those who position themselves as innocent victims receive support, while those who do not position themselves as such are left to fend for themselves. It is concluded that receiving support functions as a way for young victi…
Physical Violence in Family Sub-Systems
Although childhood violence by any person is negative for children, little is known about whether violence by different family members is linked differently to problems in young adulthood, as family relationships might play different roles in children’s individual development. In this study, we examine parent and sibling violence and associations with emotional and behavioral problems, directly and indirectly via peer victimization. We used retro…
