Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this article a precedent from the Supreme Administrative Court in Sweden is analysed (RÅ 2009 ref. 64). The case concerns an application for a care order by a local Social Welfare Authority according to section 2 inThe Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (1990:52). It regards the child of a single mother with an intellectual disability. The purpose of the article is to study the interpretation of the legal requirements of a “palpable risk of detriment” to the child’s health or development and to what degree the evaluations are based on the knowledge of risk assessment in social sciences. The study shows that there are limited possibilities to anticipate and calculate the palpable risks of detriment caused by facts of neglect, that sometimes are the consequences of intellectually incapacitated parents´ inabilities. Assessing a specific child’s social prognosis is always complex, difficult and occasionally almost impossible. Present demands of evidential value when establishing “palpable risk of detriment” to the child’s health or development are therefore unrealistic. The conclusion of the article is that the legal demand for risk evaluations in section 2 in The Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act is inadequate designed. The author recommends that the words of the act are focused on the present and the past instead of the future.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Swedish schools are required to counteract degrading treatment. If the school staff fails to counteract properly, damage might be claimed. The aim of this study was to examine the Education Act and to perform a qualitative content analysis of descriptions of countermeasures in 16 cases of peer abuse reported to the School Inspectorate. A framework of legal sociology was used. The results show that the requirements of countermeasures in the Education Act are vague. The results also show that the school staff and the reporting parents had divergent perceptions of what had happened. They could therefore not agree on what countermeasures should have been taken. The reporting parents described every measure that was unsuccessful as inadequate. The school staff, on the other hand, described measures that seemed to have been the best possible options as good enough, even though the abuse had not actually been stopped. It is argued that school staff needs competence and resources to counteract peer abuse more than they need an increase in rules and administrative procedures.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Unfortunately, the police have daily encounters with children and young people that for some reason are in harm’s way. The article deals with the question of temporary decision making by the police as a tool to protect children and young people. The Swedish Police Act (polislagen) enables the police to make compulsory decisions temporarily with the purpose of handing over the child to a legal guardian or the social services. The legal provision is described as a tool for child protection and can also be seen as a tool to ensure the rights of the child and the best interest of the child. However, the present article explores the scope of the legal provision and finds that it is only applicable with regards to the behavior of the child. It does not protect children who are in harm’s way due to the behavior of the parent or the legal guardian. The article argues that there is a need to review the Swedish Police Act to strengthen children’s rights and fulfill Sweden’s obligations according to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Sweden, the recent debate on youth crime has focused on strengthening repressive measures. At the same time, government work is underway to strengthen children’s rights. Young people who are placed for the purpose of care in secure youth care (locked institutions) are placed at the intersection of these two trends. Starting from a critical children’s rights perspective, we explore how young people understand rights in a secure care environment and discuss how these understandings relates to central principals, laws and conventions. We start from the concrete situations and contexts in which rights are to be realized in order to contribute to a better understanding of the importance of rights in a secure care environment. The empirical data consists of 15 youth interviews, at four institutions. Three understandings of rights are identified; rights as tokens where rights are seen as something symbolic and without meaning, rights as self-responsibility where rights are seen as conditional on the young people’s actions and, rights as fundamental value where rights are understood as respect for one’s own and others’ human dignity, regardless of their actions. The three understandings of rights can be linked to different care contexts and to the relationship between staff and young people. Taken together, the young people’s understandings highlight the importance of basic principles of dignity and respect on equal terms, as well as the right of children deprived of their liberty to be helped to reintegrate into society. Implications for the operation of secure youth care are highlighted.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Sweden, unlike for example Norway, problems associated with people "falling between the cracks" and ending up outside the welfare systems has not led to extensive restructuring of the social insurance system. Instead, in many cases, cooperation between authorities and responsible actors is emphasized as a means to prevent social and economic exclusion. Since 2008, cutbacks in Swedish sickness benefits has increased the proportion of job seekers with weak ties to the labour market, thus also increasing the number of individuals potentially subject to such cooperation. However, our study shows that those denied of sickness benefits, as the Social Security Agency considered them capable of working, will not in all cases be eligible for unemployment benefits. One reason is that different work ability concepts apply, where the assessment of the right to sickness benefits is characterized by the purpose to insure those unable to work due to sickness, whilst the corresponding assessment in the unemployment insurance is characterized by the purpose to insure those who are able to work. It also shows that a clear assessment of the overlap between these respective work ability concepts is made difficult, especially due to unclarities regarding what constitutes work ability in the unemployment insurance. Therefore, the design of the insurance systems affects the potential to reduce exclusion through cooperation, and poses challenges to legal security for those in transition between the systems and to a well-informed management of insurance policies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- For an elderly individual the chance to move into a publicly-provided elder care home can be crucial for a dignified life. The aim of this article is to scrutinize the right to such assistance under the Swedish Social Services Act. The legal regulation, as well as its application in lower courts, is analyzed using vulnerability theory. A goal of the Swedish elder care regulation is to make it possible for elderly persons to live safe, independent lives. If an elderly individual no longer can maintain a reasonable standard of living in his or her own home, he or she could be entitled to a place in an elderly care home. This requires – in practice – that around-the-clock-care is needed due to complex medical, psychological and social needs. The article’s analysis, starting from the responsiveness of the state and the autonomy and individuality of the elderly person, reveals legal shortcomings in the law and its application. A mixed set of determining sources for legal decisions, including local guidelines from Sweden’s municipalities, sets up for legal uncertainty and a weak position for the elder. Lastly, we offer some thoughts to inspire future research in re-thinking the needs and rights of the elderly.

Testing the Bounds of Lawful Medicine in Sweden : Vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet as a legally enforceable standard of care

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Officiellt betraktas sjukvård i Sverige som lagenlig endast om vården har godkänts som säker och effektiv både på vetenskaplig grund och efter noggrant beprövad erfarenhet. Denna vårdstandard – i kortform kallad vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet – har fungerat som grund för att avgöra medicinska förde-lar, liksom gränserna för godtagbara medicinska metoder, rätten till ersättning för skador och straffrättsligt ansvar. Till följd av problem med patientsäkerheten i Sverige på senare år har emellertid verkningsgraden i denna vårdstandard kommit att ifrågasätta. Kritiker mot vårdstandarden har också betonat bristen på tydlighet beträffande gränserna för lagenlig vård medan alltfler lagförslag kommit att innehålla förändringar i det medicinrättsliga ramverket i syfte att undvika möjligheten att se till att vårdstandarden tillämpas och att tillåta behandlingsmetoder som inte möter vårdstandarden. Den här artikeln studerar denna utveckling och ger en överblick över vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet som rättsregel. Den undersöker rättskällorna och analyserar vårdstandarden inom det svenska rättsliga ramverket och förklarar varför avvikelser från denna standard kan få betydande rättsliga konsekvenser. Artikeln förklarar vidare varför internationell rätt, i synnerhet Europakonventionen, Konventionen om ekonomiska, sociala och kulturella rättigheter och Barnkonventionen kräver att vårdstandarden förtydligas och tillämpas. I artikeln dras slutsatsen att införlivandet av dessa grundläggande normer kräver att vårdstandarden såsom tillämplig rättsregel förtydligas och utvecklas – något som inte kan lämnas till den medicinska professionen utan rättslig översyn

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den svenska lagen (2003:460) om etikprövning av forskning som avser människor (etikprövningslagen) trädde i kraft 2004. Lagen är i hög grad baserad på Europarådets konvention om skyddet av de mänskliga rättigheterna och människovärdesprincipen i relation till biologi och medicin. Lagens övergripande mål är dock att reglera inte bara medicinsk forskning utan innefattar etikprövning av forskning inom alla vetenskapliga fält. Syftet med lagen är att tillhandahålla ett skydd för individers privatliv och integritet när de ingår i såväl humanistisk-samhällsvetenskaplig som medicinsk forskning. Det kan dock konstateras att det i etikprövningslagens förarbeten och efterföljande utredningar inte har analyserats närmare om lagens reglering av klinisk forskning är i överensstämmelse med andra internationella medicinska och etiska riktlinjer och människorättskonventioner. I denna artikel analyseras kraven på rättsligt skydd för personer, särskilt barn, som genomgår vård som är ett led i klinisk forskning. Utgångspunkten tas i den reglering inom FN och Europarådet som följer eller inkorporerar internationella medicinska och etiska riktlinjer. Artikeln drar slutsatsen att det för närvarande bara går att spekulera i konsekvenserna av Sveriges inkorporering av barnkonventionen. Betydande reformer kommer att krävas för att säkerställa att svensk rätt står i överensstämmelse med Barnkonventionen.
