Mäns våld mot kvinnor bör ses som hatbrott
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Svenska Dagbladet. - 1101-2412. ; :2017-09-14
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Våld och hot om våld mot kvinnor drabbar inte bara den enskilda. Dessa brott sänder en signal till hela den grupp som brottsoffret tillhör att de inte är säkra. Vi vill därför uppmana till en översyn av hatbrottslagstiftningen, skriver Caroline Mellgren, docent i kriminologi, tillsammans med David Brax och Moa Bladini.

Balancing Criminal Law - vulnerabilities as an interest to protect by and from criminal law
- 2021

Ingår i: Bergen Journal of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice. - 1894-4183. ; 9:2

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Societal challenges inevitably raise fundamental questions about power and the exercise of power. What role does media descriptions of realities play and how are these interpreted and reformulated as part of a political agenda? How does the government exercise its power against individuals through the use of law, and in particular the criminal law, to deal with societal problems connected to these challenges? We see the tendencies of an offensive criminal law but at the same time a hesitation against the use of criminal law combatting violence against women. The contributions in this special issue discusses and point to the difficulty to strike a balance between the rule of law and the interests of the perpetrator as well as of the victim/survivor.

Autonomy and Beyond – Voluntariness in the Light of Lived Autonomy
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Retfærd. Nordisk Juridisk Tidsskrift. - 0105-1121. ; 44:3 & 4 /170, s. 35-49
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we aim to introduce and discuss the use of an everyday life-based understanding of autonomy that recognises the fact that a person’s autonomy is constantly changing, rather than stuck in given categories. We call this understanding of autonomy lived autonomy and suggest it be used as an analytical tool in legal research. We use a flower to symbolise the lived aspect of autonomy to underline how autonomy is constantly changing and thus demonstrate that person’s autonomy is elastic. A person’s autonomy can be diminished or expanded over time due to relational, time and spatial boundaries, i.e., everyday life that consists of an endless variety of aspects. Inspired by Smith, we use the concept of everyday life perspective to capture the human being as a subject rooted in everyday life. In addition to Smith’s daily routines and activities, we add cognitive and bodily memories, as well as symbols, patterns, knowledge and experiences. These are aspects of everyday life that we use as active subjects to express, for example, will, desire and needs. These aspects, perceived as well as inherited and shared memories, knowledge and experiences, can also be obstacles to expressing our will, desire or need. The concept is described and developed with the new consent-based regulation of rape as an example, in particular in relation to the criterion of voluntariness. The article starts by placing the concept of autonomy in a broader context and introduces autonomy as a concept in philosophical and legal theory, followed by a feminist critique of the traditional liberal understanding of autonomy. Then, the everyday life perspective is introduced to develop the understanding of the concept, from the traditional one towards an everyday life-based understanding of autonomy, lived autonomy. As an example of how lived autonomy can be used as an analytical tool in legal research, we apply the concept in relation to the new requisite of voluntariness in the Swedish rape legislation that came into force July 2018. Additionally, the everyday life-based understanding of autonomy also has a communicative function, and as such, the concept serves as a link between the local context and at the same time as part of an international academic debate of one of the core issues of within legal scholarship. But also, as a link between law and reality in both local and global perspective.

Autonomy of the Judge in theory and practice – Strengthening the independent judiciary
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Final Conference Judges under Stress – the Breaking Point of Judicial Institutions, University of Oslo.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The starting point of this project is the predominant assumption that the independence of courts requires independent, and hence autonomous, judges. The traditional idea is represented by Rawls "veil of ignorance", where the judge is cut out of context and relations. As this idea of autonomy is defined and discussed as an ideal, we argue that autonomy should be explored in practice with another perception, lived autonomy, rooted in everyday life needs to be explored. The project aims to explore how autonomy of judges is described in legal procedural discourse and embodied and performed in practice by judges, using the traditional idea of autonomy and lived autonomy as theoretical tools. The project runs for three years, and addresses 3 research questions: 1) How is autonomy described normatively in legal discourse? 2) How do judges discursively (in interviews) perceive and interpret autonomy? 3) How is autonomy performed in practice? Procedural legal doctrine will be analysed, 50-70 judges will be studied by shadowing and interviews on their perceptions and embodiment of autonomy. The project is the first to study the autonomy of the judge in procedural literature and performed in practice combined. In this way, it contributes to knowledge on the judges’ own perception of how to adopt, perform and display and embody autonomy in a reflexive and systematic way, that equip and prepare judges with increased resilience towards threats that targets the independence of the courts.

Empathy and Certainty - epistemic tools and emotions in rape trials.
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Sociological Knowledges for Alternative Futures. 15th ESA Conference. - 9782958158606
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper we discuss some challenges in the process of evaluating evidence in cases of rape. In cases of rape, a core question, under the new criminal rape legislation, is whether the act was voluntary or not. This often leads to an evidentiary situation where the judge is left to decide upon matters of trust and credibility. This, in turn, puts the two epistemic concepts empathy and certainty at the center of the trial. the theoretical foundation is three-folded: legal, sociology of emotions and an everyday life perspective.

Hat och hot på nätet – En kartläggning av den rättsliga regleringen i Norden från ett jämställdhetsperspektiv
- 2017
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapporten visar att såväl kvinnor som män är utsatta för kränkningar på nätet – i ungefär lika stor utsträckning. Män och kvinnor drabbas dock på olika sätt. När män – särskilt i offentligheten – utsätts för näthat är det oftare fråga om kränkningar med anspelning på yrkesskicklighet och kompetens eller hot om våld. Kvinnor utsätts istället för kränkningar med betydligt större inslag av sexism, sexuella hot och trakasserier som snarare kopplar an till person än profession. I hela Norden råder det en osäkerhet kring hur bestämmelserna som omfattar hatbrott ska tillämpas och var gränsen mot yttrandefriheten går, vilket leder till att bestämmelserna inte används i den utsträckning som i teorin är möjligt. Det innebär att det praktiska skyddet är litet för samtliga grupper, och i dagsläget obefintligt för dem som utsätts på grund av kön. Det bör sättas i relation till den forskning som visar att näthat mot kvinnor i stor utsträckning kan kopplas till kön. Moa Bladini, lektor i straffrätt vid Göteborgs universitet, är rapportförfattare.
