Competencies required when police patrol officers encounter people in suicidal crisis
What is in a label? On neighborhood labeling, stigma and housing prices
Place-based policies that allocate resources to specific areas inadvertently also designate these areas as needing assistance, potentially leading to the development of neighborhood stigma. The common coupling of resource allocation and area designation makes it difficult to measure the stigma effect. However, the Swedish police’s listing of “vulnerable” neighborhoods, initially introduced in 2015, lacked accompanying resources, offering a unique…
Resilience and Sorites in the Normative Domain and Beyond
The sorites paradox is central to theories on vagueness, which aim to explain apparent contradictions. Some theories, however, imply sharp cut‐offs where we would, intuitively, not expect them. This paper invokes the notion of normative resilience to address this issue. We argue that sharp cut‐offs may result from a gradual decline in resilience, making the existence of precise boundaries less unexpected. The paper details the sorites paradox and…
Key Factors for Locating Missing Persons Living with Dementia
Background: Persons living with dementia (PLWD) are at an increased risk of going missing, with an elevated risk of harm. In Sweden, thousands of PLWD go missing annually, and the police are responsible for locating them. However, there is limited knowledge about the key factors that contribute to effective search efforts. Therefore, this study aimed to identify these key factors as expressed by police experts. Method: Using the Delphi technique,…
Police Patrol Officers’ Experiences and Actions in Situations When They Encounter People in Suicidal Crisis
Responding to people in suicidal crisis is a significant part of the work of Swedish police patrol officers (PPOs). PPOs can prevent suicide and provide the person in crisis with support, but their presence can also have unintended effects, like escalation of the situation and stigma. The aim of this study was to describe PPOs’ experiences and actions when they encounter people in suicidal crisis. The study was performed with an inductive and des…
Age at Migration and the Political Integration of Immigrants — Evidence From a Sibling Analysis
We study the effect of age at migration among immigrants in Sweden on political participation as adults. To identify the effect, we use validated individual turnout data over three elections in Sweden (1994, 2010, and 2018), and compare outcomes among siblings who arrive at the same time but at different ages. We document a clear effect on political participation from early arrival: immigrants arriving in early childhood (ages 0–5) are about 5 to…

Workplace Networks and Political Selection
Do social networks at workplaces function as cues into the political arena? We consider this question using the case of Sweden, which has many leisure politicians who work in the regular labour market. Restricting our networks to small cells of individuals within the same occupation and workplace, we find that an individual is more likely to become a politician in the future if that person has a colleague who was a politician. We further find tha…
Granting Immigrants the Right to Vote in National Elections
Faced with rising levels of cross-border migration, many countries have extended local voting rights to non-citizen residents. However, empirical evidence indicates that voter turnout among non-naturalized immigrants is lower when compared to citizens. This raises the question of how to explain this difference. A common answer is that the low turnout rates of non-citizen residents are primarily due to the socio-economic composition of this group …
Value Incommensurability
Normative Resilience
This article discusses the phenomenon of normative resilience, with a focus on evaluative resilience. An object can become more or less valuable. In addition to this change in an object's value, the object's value can become more or less resilient. If it is less resilient, it cannot withstand as much evaluative change without its degree of value changing, as compared to an object with more resilient value. The article consists of three parts. Fir…
Classifying comparability problems in a way that matters
How should one understand comparisons in which neither of two alternatives is at least as good as the other? Much recent literature on comparability problems focuses on what the appropriate explanation of the phenomenon is. Is it due to vagueness or the possibility of non-conventional comparative relations such as parity? This paper argues that the discussions on how to best explain comparability problems has reached an impasse at which it is har…
Effects of Settlement into Ethnic Enclaves on Immigrant Voter Turnout
What is the effect of residing in ethnic enclaves on immigrants' future political participation? We study a comprehensive refugee placement reform that was implemented in Sweden in the mid-1980s in combination with unique individual-level turnout data to study the causal effect of being settled in neighborhoods with a high residential concentration of coethnics on immigrants' future probability of voting. We find little evidence that ethnic conce…
The Emergency Care Competence Needed for Police Patrol Officers According to the Experts
Police patrol officers (PPOs) face different types of encounters with acutely ill and injured people as first responders. The study aim was to explore and describe the emergency care competence needed for Swedish PPOs. The study had an exploratory design, and the data was collected using the Delphi technique from 43 experts in Sweden: police program educators (n=10), police authority instructors (n=11), and PPOs (n= 22). The results generated an …
Value Incommensurability
Is it expensive to be poor? Public transport in Sweden
One of the reasons to subsidise public transport is to improve the mobility of low-income groups by providing affordable public transport; however, the literature describes a situation whereby those with a low income are unable to afford the cheapest tickets per trip, i.e. travelcards, as they usually require a considerable up-front cost. In this study, we use a large dataset from the Swedish National Travel Survey to investigate whether, and if …
Ethnic Enclaves, Self-employment, and the Economic Performance of Refugees
This article estimates the causal effect of residential concentration of co-ethnics (ethnic enclaves) on the probability to start a business among refugees in Sweden. Results indicate that the share of self-employed co-ethnics in the port of entry municipality increases refugees’ probability of entry into self-employment, while the actual share of local co-ethnics has no effect or, in some cases, a negative effect. The results support the conclus…
Migrating natives and foreign immigration
Workplace Contact and Support for Anti-Immigration Parties
How does an increased presence of immigrants in the workplace affect anti-immigration voting behavior? While cooperative interactions between natives and immigrants can reduce intergroup prejudice, immigrant coworkers might be regarded as a threat to native-born workers' labor market position. We combine detailed Swedish workplace data with precinct-level election outcomes for a large anti-immigration party (the Sweden Democrats) to study how the…
How Valuable Is It
1 Our usage of "object" is regrettably a bit idiosyncratic, by object we refer to anything that can be the bearer of value. What exactly can function as the bearer of value, such as states of affairs, concrete objects, and so forth is controversial and something we wish to remain neutral on, hence the usage of 'object '. 2
A More Plausible Collapsing Principle
In 1997 John Broome presented the Collapsing Argument that was meant to establish that non‐conventional comparative relations (e.g., “parity,” “imprecise equality,” “incommensurability”) cannot exist. Broome's argument has faced a lot of scrutiny and a certain type of counterexample has been used to undermine it. Most of the counterexamples focus on the Collapsing Principle which plays a central role in Broome's argument. In this article we will …
Economic Analysis and Investment Priorities in Sweden’s Transport Sector
Beginning as a planning tool within Sweden’s national road administration some 50 years ago, benefit-cost analysis (BCA) has come to be a pillar of the national transport policy because of subsequent strategic choices made by the national parliament. These choices made it necessary to widen the analysis of costs to include also externalities and a foregone conclusion was that efficient investment priorities should be made based on BCA. But no one…
Application of BCA in Europe – Experiences and Challenges
Although benefit-cost analysis (BCA) can be traced back to European thinkers, its first practical applications were in the United States. Recent years have witnessed a growing demand for economic appraisals of policies in different sectors in Europe, but the implementation rate is still low compared to that in the United States. This article introduces a symposium that includes four articles that present current examples of how BCA is being appli…
China’s Cap on Coal and the Efficiency of Local Interventions
China’s Cap on Coal Consumption (CCC) Policy serves as a key strategy to address the serious air pollution in China, and it helps to address coal’s climate, environment and health damages. Current implementation of it focuses on substituting coal used in power plants and boilers with natural gas, whereas phasing out household coal use is less emphasized. This study estimates the benefits and costs of interventions for phasing out coal used in pow…
Air Pollution Control Policies in China
With China’s significant role on pollution emissions and related health damage, deep and up-to-date understanding of China’s air pollution policies is of worldwide relevance. Based on scientific evidence for the evolution of air pollution and the institutional background of environmental governance in China, we examine the development of air pollution control policies from the 1980s and onwards. We show that: (1) The early policies, until 2005, w…

Demographic determinants of incident experience and risk perception
This paper analyzes demographic determinants of incident experience and risk perception, as well as the relationship between the two, for eight different risk domains. Analyses were conducted by merging the results of a Swedish population-based survey, which includes approximately 15,000 individuals, with demographic and socio-economic register data. Being male was associated with higher incident experience yet a lower risk perception for nearly …
