Det besvärliga våldet : Socialtjänstens stöd till kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relationer
- 2016
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I avhandlingen analyseras hur våldsutsatta kvinnors behov tolkas, omförhandlas och anpassas för att kunna hanteras inom socialtjänstens organisation. Avhandlingens övergripande frågeställningar fokuserar på insatser och behov, betydelsen av socialtjänstens organisering och betydelsen av socialarbetarnas handlingsutrymme. Avhandlingen baseras på kvalitativa analyser av statliga propositioner, intervjuer med socialarbetare och med kvinnor som varit utsatta för våld i nära relationer. Det teoretiska ramverket bygger bland annat på Frasers (1989) teoretiska perspektiv som tar sin utgångspunkt i samhällets tolkningar av människors/gruppers behov av stöd, nyinstitutionell teori och teorier om gatubyråkrater. Avhandlingen visar att socialarbetares tolkningar är centrala aspekter av förhandlingen om hur våldsutsatta kvinnors behov och rätt till stöd ska förstås. Ett viktigt resultat i avhandlingen är att stödet till våldsutsatta kvinnor blir så pass olika. Avhandlingen ger inga svar i kvantitativa termer på hur olikheten är fördelad, men den ger exempel på hur olikheten tar sig uttryck. I kommuner där specialiseringen innebär att socialarbetarna på socialkontoret i första hand utreder behov och fattar beslut om insatser, måste det också finnas adekvata insatser att besluta om. Saknas det så erbjuds inte heller något stöd. Stödet till kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relationer blir också olika eftersom socialarbetare ställer olika krav eller sätter upp olika trösklar för att kvinnor ska få stöd. Avhandlingen visar att både gemensam kunskap och gemensam syn på sociala problem är centralt för att samarbetet inom den specialiserade socialtjänstens ska fungera och i längden också för vilket stöd människor kommer att erbjudas.

De/gendering Violence and Racialising Blame in Swedish Child Welfare – What Has Childhood Got to Do with It?
- 2023
-
In: Journal of Gender-Based Violence. - : Bristol University Press/Policy Press. - 2398-6808 .- 2398-6816. ; 50
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article is a critical interrogation of how gender and power figure in Swedish child welfare policy and the discourses on violence in intimate relationships vis-à-vis children exposed to violence. Drawing on feminist violence research, critical childhood studies, and intersectional perspectives, we identify a differentiation with racialised undertones in the understanding of violence as a social problem when related to children’s exposure. While predominately gender-neutral discourses of social heredity and epidemiology run through the material for the seemingly ‘universal’ child, forms of violence ascribed to the presumed cultural Others link to gender, structural power, and sexuality. The article concludes that gendered articulations of violence are restricted yet pivotal if children’s exposure is to be linked to issues of inequality and power. However, when gendering interlinks with racialisation, problematic differentiations of violence, childhoods, and children are produced.

Children’s voices, children’s agency and the development of knowledge about children exposed to intimate partner violence
- 2016. - 1
-
In: Interpersonal Violence. - London : Routledge. - 9781138644915 ; , s. 140-152
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter, I argue that children’s voices and perspectives constitute a very fruitful point of departure in knowledge development in the field of intimate partner violence (IPV). Furthermore, that research and practice need to draw on a “double view” on these children as both objects for adults’ care, protection and support, and as social actors with their own perspectives, preferences and agendas.First, I review the extent to which it is possible to identify current research on intimate partner violence focusing on children’s voices and children’s agency, and outline a typology of different kinds of research on children exposed to intimate partner violence, as well as the “double view” on children exposed to intimate partner violence.Second, I discuss three different empirical areas to illustrate the point about possible knowledge gains. The first area is children’s exposure to intimate partner violence, specifically children’s ways of tackling their situation and experiences. This part of the discussion includes elaborations of the concept of “witnessing” or exposure to IPV, the relationship between the effects of exposure and children’s creation of meaning, and children’s agency. The second area is risk assessment and it is argued that such assessments must include not just immediate danger (or perpetrator dangerousness) but also the long-term risk associated with emotional violence, retraumatization or undermining of recovery, as well as the child’s sense of security. The third area is the critical assessment of support and treatment interventions, including perspectives on children exposed to IPV as services users, and to what extent their service user perspectives are included in the development and evaluations of interventions.

Mäns våldsutövande - barns upplevelser : en kartläggning av interventioner, kunskap och utvecklingsbehov
- 2006
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- En kartläggning av interventioner, kunskap och utvecklingsbehov. Olika insatser görs för att få män att sluta använda våld mot kvinnor och barn. Under våren 2006 har verksamheterna kartlagts och resultatet redovisas i rapporten. Den konstaterar att det många gånger finns stora brister i verksamheter som är riktade till män när det gäller såväl säkerhet för kvinnor och barn som dokumentation av interventionsmodeller, uppföljningsmodeller m.m. Föreslår ett utvecklingsprogram för dokumentation, uppföljning, utvärdering och fortbildning på området interventioner mot mäns våld mot kvinnor och barn.

Utvärdering av Mentorer i våldsprevention : Slutrapport
- 2018
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Rapporten presenterar resultaten från en utvärdering av det våldsförebyggande programmet Mentorer i våldsprevention (MVP). Programmet Mentors in Violence Prevention kommer från USA och är ett utbildningsprogram som syftar till att förebygga killars och mäns våld. Organisationen Män för Jämställdhet har översatt programmet från engelska, anpassat det till svenska förhållanden och under perioden 2015-2017 spridit MVP i ett antal skolor i Sverige inom ramen för projektet ”En kommun fri från våld”. Det är den version av MVP som Män för Jämställdhet utvecklat och sprider som den här utvärderingen berör. Utvärderingen har genomförts på uppdrag av Skolverket.

Integritet på undantag? : En studie av barns röst i patientlagen och patientorganisationer
- 2019
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis explores discourses regarding children’s voice, in the Swedish Patient Act, as well as in Swedish patient organizations. In the Patient Act, children’s rights as patients are construed on the basis of custodians’ parental rights and the assumption that patients are competent and autonomous adults. The child is given an object position, weaker than an adult patient and subordinated to parents’ authority. Consequently, the integrity of the child is not absolute, as it is construed through an autonomy discourse and a family discourse which set boundaries for the child´s voice in the Patient Act. The family discourse combined with a mass movement discourse form the prerequisits for children’s voice in the context of patient organizations. As a consequence, patient organizations do not act as voice in relation to children’s rights as patients, in the Patient Act. Rather, interviews with representatives of patient organizations show that the parents act as voice having a child in need of health care. The position of children in the organizationsis ambiguous and, rather than having a voice of their own, children can be used in advertising campaigns to attract funding, expressing the voice of the organization. When children are used in this way by organizations, children’s integrity seem to be negotiable. The thesis shows that in both the Patient Act and the patient organizations, the integrity of the child is questioned. Children seem to be regarded as imperfect rights-holders and as imperfect members of society.This perception of the child is traced to dominant ethical perspectives from which children’s human rights have emerged. Drawing on current academic debates, analternative approach to these prevailing ethical perspectives is suggested. Instead of making rights conditional upon presumed autonomy and adulthood, rights can be perceived as relational and expressions of the mutual interdependence of humans, regardless of age and maturity. If rights are seen in this way, with children being understood not as essentially different but differently equal, then the child´s voice can have actual importance.

Mellan civilsamhälle och folkrörelse : Ett aktörsperspektiv på rekrytering och organisering av medborgerligt engagemang
- 2021
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Civic engagement, commonly seen as concerning people's actions and activities,is generally studied at the individual level. In this doctoral thesis the term is used to examine and analyse how recruitment and organisation of civic engagement has developed since the mid-1990s at the organisational level in a Swedish context, as well as the conditions that have influenced and shaped this development. Three forms of civic engagement are examined: associational membership, volunteering and giving. In this thesis, interviews and text analyses are used. The analysis of archived webpages and annual reports demonstrates a more diversified range of forms of civic engagement available at the organisational level. It is expressed as an increased demand for different types of volunteering and giving, in addition to the more traditional form of civic engagement that associational membership constitutes in a Swedish context. The diversified range of civic engagement is accompanied by various recruitment practices such as marketing and fundraising, characterised by different institutional logics that guide the actual recruitment work within organisations. Interviews were conducted with elected representatives and employees at a senior level within non-profit human service organisations. The interviewees reasoning about the changing conditions for recruiting and organising civic engagement is understood as actions through which they reproduce or change logics. The study concludes that in practice, the recruitment and organisation of civic engagement can be seen as an expression of institutional complexity. It is argued that the collectively shared view of how civic engagement can and should be organised in a Swedish context is characterized by a complex composition of logics that prescribe different patterns of action for participants and organisations.
