Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Barns utsatthet för olika former av våld är ett betydande problem. Internationell forskning visar att ett och samma barn ofta drabbas av flera olika typer av våld, såsom fysisk eller psykisk barnmisshandel, sexuella övergrepp, mobbing respektive att uppleva våld mellan föräldrarna, och försummelse. Internationell forskning visar också att barn som utsätts på flera sätt löper ökad risk för att utsättas även senare i livet.Det övergripande syftet med Resumé-studien (REtrospektiv Studie om Unga Människors Erfarenheter av utsatthet och stöd i unga år) är att, i ett representativt urval av unga vuxna i Sverige, ta reda på hur vanligt det är att de har utsatts för olika typer av våld och försummelse under barndom och ungdomsår.Ett slumpmässigt urval av 2 500 20-24-årin-gar i Sverige har face-to-face-intervjuats och besvarat frågor om utsatthet via en elektronisk enkät.I denna presentation presenteras för första gången resultat från Resumé-studien. Presen-tationen besvarar frågor som: Hur vanligt är det att unga vuxna i åldrarna 20-24 år rapport-erar att de varit utsatta för olika typer av våld? Vem har utfört våldet och var någonstans har personerna utsatts? Hur vanligt är det att man utsatts för olika typer av våld av samma person och/eller i samma miljö i förhållande till att ha utsatts av flera personer och i olika miljöer? Vilka statistiskt typiska och antitypiska kombi-nationer av utsatthet kan utifrån svaren på dessa frågor identifieras bland unga vuxna i Sverige idag?

Family and Friends : An Important Resource to Receive Psychosocial Support after Victimization as a Youth
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Several studies show that young crime victims might need psychosocial support to cope with their experiences. However, few youth victims actually seek help; either because they do not need it, or because the benefits of support to not way up costs of acknowledging victimization. This study therefore aim to investigate (1) From whom have youth victimized to different types and amounts of types of crimes and/or abuse sought and received professional and/or network support?(2) To what extent do youth victimized to different amounts of types of crimes and/or abuse judge the professional support as having met their expectations? And, (3) to what extent do victims that have received professional or network support after different amounts of types of victimization report emotional problems? In total, 2,500 20-24 year-olds were asked about their experiences of lifetime victimization and connected help-seeking, where the present study focus on the 2,160 participants who had been exposed to property crime, physical, verbal and/or sexual abuse. The results show that most youth victims had received support from family and friends, even though some also sought help from public institutions or non-profit organizations. These results appears for both specific types of crimes and for multiple victimization for different types of crimes. Further, most of the victims feel that the support was right for them and that it had made a positive difference; however, those who had been victimized of three or four types of offences were more negative. When it comes to mental health in adulthood, overall, most of the victims who had received either professional or network support, have few symptoms of problems; although, those with multiple victimization, have more symptoms. The results from the study is of importance for both support providers and the research community, to understand where young victims seek and receive support post-victimization in relation to well-being in early adulthood, which can lead to support services being better matched with the needs of the victim.

Youth victimization in Sweden : prevalence, characteristics and relation to mental health and behavioral problems in young adulthood
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study examines multiple types of victimization simultaneously, their prevalence and characteristics in childhood and adolescence, and the associations between victimization and poly-victimization on the one hand, and single as well as multiple mental health and behavioral prob-lems on the other. The sample consisted of 2,500 Swedish young adults (20–24 years) who provided detailed report of multiple types of life-time victimization and current health and behaviors via an interview and a questionnaire. Results showed that it was more common to be victimized in adolescence as compared to childhood and more common to be victim-ized repeatedly rather than a single time, among both males and females. Males and females were victimized in noticeably different ways and partially at different places and by different perpetrators. With regard to mental health and behavioral problems, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and criminality were clearly over-represented among both males and females who had experienced any type of victimization. Poly-victimization was related to single and multiple mental health and behavioral problems among both males and females. We conclude that professionals need to conduct thorough evaluations of victimization when completing mental health assessments among troubled youths, and that youth might benefit from the development of interventions for poly-victimized youth

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.
