Father–son communication and youth fighting in Sweden, 2014 and 2018: Evidence from a survey based on binary gender categories
This study examines whether poor father-son communication is associated with youth physical fighting. Data were drawn from children aged 11–15 years who participated in the Swedish Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) surveys in 2014 (n = 2917) and 2018 (n = 1557) and who selected ‘boy’ in response to the survey’s binary gender item (‘Are you a boy or a girl?’). Logistic regression analyses were conducted. Adolescent boys who reported …
A Fresh Start or a False Dawn? Assessing the Crime-Preventive Effect of Debt Settlements for People With a History of Conviction
People with convictions often face financial challenges, which hinder desistance from crime as they have few legal opportunities to address their financial burdens. In some countries, those severely insolvent can apply for ‘debt settlement’ through Enforcement Authorities. This study explores whether such settlements are crime-preventative for people with conviction histories. Analyzing Swedish administrative data and a sample of 1,621 previously…
Parental Over-Indebtedness and Youth Crime in Sweden: A Nationwide Register-Based Study
Very little is known about whether a child’s delinquency can be related to a parent’s economic problems in terms of financial indebtedness. This would seem to be an important research gap, not least at a time when the repercussions of the 2008 global financial crisis are still being felt by many people. This study concerned boys and girls born in 2002 who had a parent with a registration date for a debt in the Swedish Enforcement Authority regist…
Debt Problem of One Partner and Depressive Morbidity in the Other: A 2-Year Follow-up Register Study of Different-Sex Couples in Sweden
This study sets out to examine whether depressive morbidity varies by status of financial indebtedness of a spouse or cohabiting partner. For this purpose, individuals aged between 20 and 60 with a different-sex spouse/cohabiting partner with a registration date for a debt at the Swedish Enforcement Authority (SEA) during 2017 (n = 6979) are followed-up for a 2-year period for prescriptions of antidepressants and compared with a sample from the g…
Strengthening the Notion of the ‘Village’ in Signs of Safety – A Luhmannian Perspective
Signs of Safety’s child protection approach has recently been criticized for lacking in theory when it comes to the part of the framework that deal with the involvement of social networks. The article explores if it is possible to respond to this critique with the help of Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory. Luhmann’s systems theory was shown to be aligned with core components in Signs of Safety hence offering a possible theoretical underpinning to t…
Financial indebtedness and suicide: A 1-year follow-up study of a population registered at the Swedish Enforcement Authority
Background: Economic hardship is an established suicidogenic factor. However, very little is known about whether financial difficulties in terms of debt problems, specifically, is related to suicide. This would seem to be an important research gap, not least at a time when the repercussions of the global financial crisis are still being felt by many people. Aims: This study sets out to examine whether experiencing financial indebtedness is relate…
Unmet financial obligations and alcohol-related mortality: A nationwide register-based follow-up study
This study sets out to explore whether experiencing financial indebtedness is related to alcohol-related mortality. For this purpose, people aged between 20 and 64 having a registration date for a debt in the Swedish Enforcement Authority's register during 2015 (n = 48,541) were followed up for a five-year period for alcohol-related mortality and were compared with a sample from the general Swedish population (n = 261,148). On the basis of logist…
Evictions and suicide: A follow-up study of almost 22 000 Swedish households in the wake of the global financial crisis
BACKGROUND: Millions of families across the world are evicted every year. However, very little is known about the impact that eviction has on their lives. This lack of knowledge is also starting to be noticed within the suicidological literature, and prominent scholars are arguing that there is an urgent need to explore the extent to which suicides may be considered a plausible consequence of being faced with eviction. METHOD: The present study's…
School performance and gender differences in suicidal behaviour – a 30-year follow-up of a Stockholm cohort born in 1953
Astonishingly little is known about the relationship between high educational achievements and suicidal behaviour among women. This is remarkable given that a woman breaking into traditionally male-dominant spheres is a well established example of social-role marginality. The current study combines fatal and non-fatal suicidal behaviour and analyses, by means of logistic regression, the degree to which high school performance during pre-adolescen…
Informal social capital in childhood and suicide among adolescent and young adult women: A cross-sectional analysis with 30 countries
Rethinking the Long-Term Consequences of Growing Up in a Disadvantaged Neighbourhood: Lessons from Sweden
Using extensive longitudinal register data for more than 80 000 young metropolitan Swedes, this study addresses the effect of a disadvantaged neighbourhood social context on groupings of outcomes that are important for the living conditions of young adults. The overall results show that growing up in a disadvantaged neighbourhood increases the risk of experiencing comparably more unemployment, having less education and receiving more social assis…
Self-directed and interpersonal male violence in adolescence and young adulthood: A 30-year follow up of a Stockholm cohort
In line with Wilkinson's theory on inequality and health, this study simultaneously analyses self-directed and interpersonal violence among men in a Stockholm birth cohort born in 1953 with respect to their early life experiences of stress, their lack of social connectedness and their relative deprivation. Multinomial logistic regressions with cluster-robust variance estimates were used. Self-directed violence was found to be related to self-rate…
