Cooperation and confidentiality. Information sharing between the Swedish social service and the police in juvenile crime prevention
In Sweden, social workers in social services have the discretion to decide whether or not to disclose information to the police in work with juvenile crime prevention. Thereby, they face a conflict between the obligation to keep client information confidential and the obligation to cooperate with the police. This article examined descriptions of information sharing, in policy documents and interviews with social services management, social worker…
Resisting Rape Myths and Doing Feminism in Legal Processes of Rape Cases
In this article, we draw on insights on contemporary feminist activism and explore practices of challenging previously dominating notions of rape in legal processes. We have analyzed interviews and recorded interrogations from ten rape cases, using thematic qualitative analysis. The results are presented in four sections representing the main themes identified through the analysis: lacking faith in the legal system, coproducing feminism through s…
Victim blaming as collateral damage
This study investigates legal professionals’ understanding of the attribution of moral guilt to complainants in court hearings, comparing rape, assault, and fraud cases in Sweden. Sixteen semi‐structured interviews were conducted with judges, prosecutors, defence lawyers, and complainants’ counsels. The findings suggest that while professionals assert that attributions of moral guilt to complainants are rare, complainants may perceive blame due t…
Experience of guilt in court hearings—Comparing rape, assault and fraud cases
Feelings of guilt often occur when people are subjected to crime. In this study, guilt is defined as a moral and emotional category, as opposed to the legal guilt. The aim of this study was to investigate how crime victims related to feelings of guilt in the court process. Interviews with plaintiffs in rape cases (10) have been compared to interviews with plaintiffs in assault (10) and fraud cases (10) in order find out if there are differences i…
Women and men sexually violated by closely related perpetrators over a lifespan. Prevalence, revictimization, and association to adverse childhood conditions and experiences
Classroom bodies
The aim of this paper is to analyse how Swedish grade three children are discursively positioned as pupils when they are taking national tests in mathematics and when they reflect on the testing situation afterwards. With support from theories about affective-discursive assemblages, we explore children’s body language, emotions, and talk in light of the two overarching discourses that we believe frame the classroom: the ‘testing discourse’ and th…
Offer, minna och utsatthet. Diskurser om alkohol i våldtäckts- och misshandelsmål
The alcohol consumption of female rape victims is often discussed during rape trials. This has been regarded as an emblematic example of victim blaming and the failures of the legal system in relation to rape. From a feminist perspective it can be seen as an expression of the structural subordination of women in society in general. This article investigates the meanings attached to alcohol in written court decisions in Swedish rape trials (2008-2…
Victim−offender mediation in Sweden
In this article we analyse recorded verbal interactions between victims and offenders in the presence of mediators. Our aim is to illuminate how victims interact, communicate and position themselves in relation to the offender. We inquire whether victims benefit from verbal interaction with offenders during a process of mediation. According to this study there are no easy answers. Victims act in diverse ways depending on their aims and the situat…
Defender, spokesperson, therapist

Data are collected from three types of cases where a health or social welfare authority argues that it is necessary to apply coercion to a citizen: the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act, the Care of Alcohol and Drug Abusers (Special Provisions) Act and the Co…

Röster i rätten
In the ongoing project: Therapist and adverse party — court hearings about coercive intervention, we analyze the communication process in court hearings concerning cases where citizens are subjected to coercive measures (compulsory care for psychiatric patients and drug abusers, social authorities' interventions to separate children from their parents). The primary purpose is to analyze the dilemma of balancing two seemingly incompatible roles fo…
