School Bullying and the Experience of Social Inclusion Among Finnish Adolescent Boys and Girls
Ethical Implications of AI‐Driven Chatbots in Domestic Violence Support
Our study explored the opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations of using artificial intelligence (AI)‐driven chatbots in domestic violence (DV) support. DV is a serious public health and social problem. Identifying it as early as possible is important in violence prevention. However, victim‐survivors of DV are often reluctant to disclose violence, and service practitioners may lack the capacity or confidence to address violence‐relat…

Gender Differences in Witnessing and the Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence from the Perspective of Children in Finland
Background—Intimate partner violence (IPV) has both direct and longer-term effects on children’s well-being. Much of the research thus far has relied on caregiver reports of IPV and clinical samples of children. By contrast, minimal research has examined violence between parents from the perspective of children using nationwide samples. Objective—This study explored the frequency of IPV witnessed by children and gender variations regarding the vi…
Framing Social Work Discourses of Violence Against Women. Insights From Finland and India
Violence against women (VAW) is a global social problem. In India, its high prevalence is connected to gender inequality, whereas Finland suffers from the so-called Nordic Paradox—that is, the existence of both gender equality and a high prevalence of VAW. This qualitative study employed a critical constructioniist approach and frame analysis to analyze data from interviews with Finnish ( n = 20) and Mumbai ( n = 18) social workers. We asked how …

Living on a knife's edge: Temporal conflicts in welfare service work
This article considers the temporal variations of agency from the point of view of social and health care workers' experiences and the social structures and practices of the contemporary public service sector. It is based on an interview study of 24 Finnish welfare service workers. The results show that the public service sector increasingly operates according to market principles and an economic-rationalistic framing of time, contrary to the rel…
Gendered Agency and Emotions in the Field of Care Work
This article examines the gendered effects of the intensification of public sector care work due to neoliberal reforms. It draws on an interview study of Finnish social and healthcare workers to argue that the expectations towards men and women in the reorganized field of care work are different, especially in the case of their emotional involvement in care practices. The article develops a conceptual framework based on Bourdieu's theory of pract…
