Shedding a Light on Blue
Following the #MeToo movement and a Facebook campaign known as #Nödvärn (selfdefense), sexual and gender-based harassment in the context of Swedish police work has received increased attention. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of sexual and gender-based harassment, the common types of harassment, and the organizational factors that officers perceive to be enabling the occurrence of such harassment. The current study employed a mixed…
Utsatthet för sexuellt våld bland samiska kvinnor i Sverige
Frågan om sexuellt våld har under de senaste åren fått ett allt större utrymme i Sápmi. I denna artikel, som baseras på den populationsbaserade studien «Samisk hälsa på lika villkor» (Samisk HLV) 2021, undersöks utsatthet för sexuellt våld bland samiska kvinnor och män i Sverige jämfört med kvinnor och män i Sveriges befolkning.

The public health turn on violence against women’
This article focuses on policy and law concerning violence against women as a public health issue. In Sweden, violence against women is recently recognized as a public health problem; we label this shift "The public health turn on violence against women". The new framing implies increased demands on the Swedish healthcare sector and its' ability to recognise violence and deal with it in terms of prevention and interventions. The aim was to descri…
Fathers' Rights in Swedish Family Law Reform
A strong assumption in Swedish family law that shared parenting and parental cooperation post-separation or divorce are preferred creates, as in many other jurisdictions, problems for mothers who try to protect themselves and their children from violent fathers. Changes in law during the last decade have, however, weakened the assumption that joint custody and extensive contact with violent fathers are the normal legal outcomes. This article anal…

Blaming violent men—A challenge to the Swedish criminal law on provocation
The Ability of Criminal Law to Produce Gender Equality
The main aim of the Swedish Women's Peace reform in 1998 was to enhance criminal legal protection for women exposed to violence in heterosexual relationships and to promote gender equality. However, these ambitions risk being contravened in a masculinist criminal legal system. One problem concerns how the victim is constructed in criminal legal cases. The author argues that moral balancing and discourses of responsibility and guilt in Swedish cas…
