Teenagers as victims in the press
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Children & Society. - : Wiley. - 0951-0605. ; 21:3, s. 175-188
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research into press reporting on young people has tended to concentrate on young people as offenders. In contrast, this article focuses on press coverage of teenagers as victims. Reports in two Swedish newspapers (a morning broadsheet and an evening tabloid) were studied over a period of four months and subjected to a qualitative analysis of discourse on teenagers as victims of various forms of violence and ill-treatment. It was found that danger and threats to the teenagers were seen as gendered, and as emanating from their own age group and from outside the home and family. The class background of the victims was not salient and child welfare issues were seldom mentioned.

Records of personal assistance applications reveal young carers : Viewed from the rights of the child
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Children & society. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0951-0605 .- 1099-0860. ; 37, s. 485-501
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to investigate how children's care responsibility is recognised in records of personal assistance carried out by the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (SSIA). The article consists of document analysis, examining how caring activities are made visible in the records, and professionals' views and actions regarding responsibilities placed on children. Data consist of 100 cases randomly selected from the SSIA register amongst applicants with children, focusing on parents' descriptions of their needs, the public officials' assessments, and statements from professionals. Recurring themes related to young carers were developed.

On Childhood and the Logic of Difference : Some Empirical Examples
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Children & society. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0951-0605 .- 1099-0860. ; 26:1, s. 4-13
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article argues that universal documents on children's rights can provide illustrative examples as to how childhood is identified as a unity using difference as an instrument. Using Gille Deleuze's theorising on difference and sameness as a framework, the article seeks to relate the children's rights project with a critique of representation. It seeks to illustrate how the children's rights project seems to be promoting an image of childhood that is sharply contrasted by adulthood in a dichotomised sense, as well as how, in these documents, the fate of the child is being intertwined with the fate of the state.

Home alone : children as caretakers in León, Nicaragua
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Children and society. - : Wiley. - 0951-0605 .- 1099-0860. ; 23:1, s. 43-56
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article seeks to explore and understand the life situations of sibling caretakers in poor areas in León, Nicaragua. The every day lives for caretakers were studied through observations and interviews with children, informants and parents. The children themselves were satisfied and proud to be trusted as caretakers and felt useful in contributing to their families' livelihood. However, in a life course perspective the caretaking role implies a narrowing of life options. Early on they seem to acquire essential life skills but as they grow older many are at risk of falling behind due to their marginalised situation and lack of basic education.

Enabling Children's participation : Putting the ‘good dialogues’ model into practice
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Children & society. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0951-0605 .- 1099-0860. ; 38:2, s. 334-348
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A growing interest in children's participation has led to an increased need for methods for communicating with children. Empirical knowledge on ways to secure children's participation in encounters with welfare professionals and in decisions regarding their life is, however, scarce. One example of a practice model intended to enable children's participation is ‘Good Dialogues’. Presenting results from an evaluation study of the feasibility and practical use of the Good Dialogues model, this article explores the ways in which practitioners manage to put the agenda of child-centred and child-guided dialogues with children underpinning this model into practice. The ways in which children's participation is undermined are also discussed as well as the need for further knowledge development.

Family law proceedings, domestic violence and the impact upon school : a neglected area of research
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Children & society. - : Wiley. - 0951-0605 .- 1099-0860. ; 27:2, s. 81-91
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to open up a discussion about an unexplored area of children’s lives at school. While there has been considerable discussion of issues about child protection and the cooperation between school and social services in that context, studies on the intersection between school and family law proceedings seem virtually non-existent. This is also the case when it comes to family law proceedings and different forms of childhood adversity. Drawing upon previous and ongoing research on family law and domestic violence in Sweden, together with a number of other existing studies on children and domestic violence, this article outlines the potential impact of family law proceedings upon school as well as issues requiring further research exploration.

Interviews with children exposed to violence
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Children & society. - : Wiley. - 0951-0605 .- 1099-0860. ; 26:1, s. 63-73
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to show how research practices may simultaneously follow principles of children’s citizenship rights to participation and principles of protection and support when children exposed to violence are informants. The article focuses upon organisation of interview processes and interactions between adult researchers and child informants in interview encounters. We point to a number of ways in which one may negotiate the tensions between, on the one hand, victimised children’s vulnerability and dependence upon adults for protection and support, and on the other these children’s agency and rights to participation.
