Assertions and aspirations
Research on asylum-seeking children tends to disregard those in parental care. In particular, little is known about children’s own perspectives. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Sweden, this article explores the ways in which accompanied children experience and seek to overcome challenges posed by asylum reception. The focus is on children’s ambition and ability to form their everyday life, given their ambiguous position of tentative emplacemen…
Adolescent girls exploited in the sex trade
This study explores the informativeness of 24 adolescents exploited in sex trade in Sweden when they were interviewed by police officers about their experiences. The questions and responses were analysed using coding types developed for research on forensic interviews. Qualitative analyses of the questions resulting in evasive responses and the court files were also done. The findings show that the adolescents were informative yet evasive, specif…
What happened when you came to Sweden?”
Depicted as someone without agency, with no free will and completely in the hands of the trafficker, the ideal trafficking victim can be seen as diametrically different from the guilty prostitute. By analysing how responsibility and victimhood are negotiated in forensic interviews with alleged adolescent trafficking victims, this article scrutinises this image by asking how victim-status is handled when questions turn to sex and prostitution and …
Investigative interviewing of alleged child abuse victims
This evaluation focused on the developing interviewing skills of 104 active crime investigators in Sweden who participated in six different half-year courses between 2007 and 2010. The courses emphasised a combined model of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Protocol and the PEACE model of investigative interviewing. The teaching was interdisciplinary. The evaluation involved interviews of 208 children, most of whom were…
The quality of details when children and youths with intellectual disabilities are interviewed about their abuse experiences
The question for this study was to further understand how children and youths with intellectual disabilities (IDs) provide central and peripheral details when interviewed about their abuse experiences. Through a quantitative method we examined police officers’ first formal investigative interviews with 32 children and youths with IDs. We analyzed the details they reported about abuse in relation to types of questions asked. The findings showed th…
Vulnerable children's health as described in investigations of reported children
This study explores whether the social services weigh in health aspects, and what these may be, when investigating reported children's life situation. Information about physical and psychological health aspects for 259 children in 272 investigations was included. Overall, information about children's health was limited. Problematic emotions were the most commonly reported health aspect in the investigations, whereas suicidal thoughts, self‐harm b…
Asylum‐seeking minors in interpreter‐mediated interviews
This study explored how asylum‐seeking minors report information when formally interviewed. Twenty‐six Russian‐speaking minors (mean = 16.0 years of age) were individually interviewed by officials assisted by one of 18 interpreters. A qualitative analysis of the responses was used to develop categories that were then analysed quantitatively to elucidate characteristics of the questions asked by the officials, the minors' responses to them and the…
That is not necessary for you to know
This article is a study of how the participation status of asylum-seeking children is interactively constructed in interpreter-mediated asylum hearings. We have undertaken a discourse analysis of 50 non-repair side-sequences from 26 hearings with Russian-speaking, asylum-seeking children in Sweden. A side-sequence is here defined as a monolingual sequence conducted in only one of the languages involved in the interviews. It involves the interpret…
The challenge of assessing credibility when children with intellectual disabilities are alleged victims of abuse
Assessing credibility is of importance when deciding the legal outcome of a case. Such an assessment can be especially challenging when the witness is a child with intellectual disabilities. If these children have difficulties making their voices heard in legal proceedings the principal of equal legal rights may be called in question. We openly interviewed 32 lawyers, prosecutors, and police officers about how they assess credibility of these chi…

The Construction of Children's Credibility in Judgements of Child Sexual Abuse
This study is concerned with how judges identify and assess children's credibility in court judgements about sexual abuse. It is especially concerned with cases where those accused plead innocent. Two themes on credibility run through the judgements: the children's personal characters and narrative styles. The judges, in their descriptions of the children, set the scene and predispose readers to have certain responses towards the children before …

Coming of age in family therapy talk
Family therapy talk is a rich arena for intergenerational negotiations about family problems and adolescents’ privileges. Such negotiations are discussed here in terms of multiparty problem formulations that raise basic questions about who is entitled to diagnose adolescents’ “problems.” In therapy sequences, it is shown how adolescents’ problems are formulated in terms of blame allocations. On an underlying level, diagnostic negotiations also co…
