Need and Understanding – Young Victims’ Experiences of Processing Victimization
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Victimization early in life can result in both short and long term consequences such as mental health problems or behavioral changes. For this reason the young victims might need support to handle their victimization and move on after it. However, from previous research it is known that both professional support (e.g. psychologists, social workers) and support from family and friends have varying effect.Objectives: For this reason, the aim was to investigate which needs of support young victims in Sweden express, both verbally and non-verbally, and how these needs have been matched with, to them, available support services. Method: 19 narrative interviews with young victim of crime.Results: The results show that the victims want professionals and their family and friends to understand what they are going through, and that they want information about what is going to happen in the police investigation and upcoming trial. These two aspects then laid the foundation for how the victimization was processed, with those who received information and understanding for their situation, moved on from it faster than those who did not receive it.Conclusion: Information and understanding from other people are importance aspects when young victims process their victimization. Implications for both practice and research are discussed.

Post-victimization support in Sweden : from which organizations can young victims of crime expect to receive psychosocial support?
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Numerous studies have shown that victims of crime might need professional help and psychosocial support post-victimization. However, studies also show that victims not always receive the support they need and wish to have, due to public institutions and non-profit organizations being unclear about their different roles and responsibilities. This study therefore seeks to investigate the relationship between which organizations/support providers young female and male victims of different crimes have sought help from, from whom they received it, and whether they were satisfied with what they received. Data consists of 2,500 survey responses from 20-24 year-olds about their experiences of victimization during childhood and adolescence and connected help-seeking. The implications for public welfare institutions, such as social welfare and psychiatry, and non-profit organizations, such as the Association for Victim Support, are discussed.

Robot Pets for Older Adults Adopted by Over Half of Swedish Municipalities

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the past decade, there has been an increased interest in using social companionship robots for older adults in care homes. Previous studies have shown that these robots, often in the shape of a household pet, can decrease stress and loneliness while increasing communication and quality of life. In our research, studying the effects of cat and dog robots at care homes, we got the impression that these robots are quite common and that the reason for implementing them varies. Therefore, we conducted an online survey, asking all municipalities in Sweden if they have social companionship robots, how they are using them and for what kind of care organisation. The result showed that more than half of the municipalities use pet robots for older adults, and most commonly for people with dementia to lower stress and increase the feeling of safety.

Safeguarding personal integrity while collecting sensitive data using narrative interviews – a research note
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Narrative interviews with young victims of crime can provide information regarding their unique situations and how the victimization has affected their lives. However, the method can be intrusive, and not all young people are able to safeguard their personal integrity. This research note offers reflections on the use of narrative interviews with young victims of crime, and on interview situations that raised ethical quandaries about whether to discontinue the interviews to reduce the risk of harm. The note starts with a brief description of research on sensitive topics, the study, and the narrative method. After that, I reflect upon some interview situations that have left me wondering what I could have done differently, resulting in suggestions on what could be changed.

Same, same but different : A comparative study of the Swedish and German support systems for young victims of crime
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sweden and Germany are often compared, which suggests that much can be learned from each country. One aspect that needs further investigation concerns support for young victims of crime. The study therefore compares the Swedish and German welfare systems’ handling of young victims who need support after victimization, to see what can be learned from each respective country. The comparisons make it clear that both countries’ support systems developed out of similar social movements in the 1970s. However, there are differences between the two welfare states’ approaches to supporting young people. The reasons for the similarities and differences are discussed, along with practical implications for social policy.

The Process of Leaving a Domestic Violence Shelter for Mothers and Children
- 2024

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Domestic violence (DV) shelters provide a safe place for women and children; however, they are only intended to be a temporary solution until residents can find a safe place of their own. In Sweden, the social services are responsible for helping and supporting victims of DV to get away from the violence, which can include everything from practical help and housing to emotional support. The present article aims to investigate mothers' descriptions of leaving a DV shelter where they were staying with their children. Interviews with 13 mothers of children aged 0–6 years are analysed using thematic analysis. The results show that the process of leaving a DV shelter begins almost as soon as the mother and her children arrive, as it can take quite some time to find a new safe place and to mentally prepare for the move. Additionally, it takes a lot of effort to plan for life outside the shelter. This involves hardship for the mothers and children, meaning that they need support from both shelter staff and social services. Implications for social work practice and policy are discussed.

Unga brottsutsattas positionering : Narrationer om offerskap och stöd
- 2017
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Varje år utsätts ett antal unga personer för brott av varierande allvarlighet. I relation till detta konstruerar de sitt eget offerskap genom att positionera sig i relation till exempelvis ålders- och offerkategorier. Från tidigare forskning är det känt att hur unga konstruerar sitt offerskap får konsekvenser för hur de ses som offer. I denna studie undersöks därför hur unga personer förhandlar och positionerar sig i relation till offerkategorier och hur det påverkar tillgången till och deras mottaglighet för stöd. Narrativ analys har genomförts av fyra unga personers berättelser av att ha varit utsatta för brott. Analyserna visar på komplexiteten av konstruktionen av offerskap, där några positioner har mer tillgång till stödinsatser än andra. Till detta finns även tidsaspekten, där unga personer skiftar i positionering över tid. Även detta påverkar tillgången till och mottagligheten för stöd, men det omvända förhållandet föreligger också som i sin tur även det påverkar hur unga positionerar sig. Dessa resultat är av vikt för den fortsatta utvecklingen av stödinsatser till unga brottsutsatta och för att understryka att ett initialt avvisande av stöd inte nödvändigtvis betyder att stöd inte behövs.
