Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Therapeutic jurisprudence may have its major role within law practice, but analysis of the law from a therapeutic perspective is a task that should not be neglected: how a piece of legislation is designed and formulated certainly influences the therapeutic outcome of a legal process. This article uses sex legislation as an example to demonstrate how the old rape law based on coercion has anti-therapeutic effects on rape victims. If the law requires resistance, it implies that a woman is sexually available until she resists physically, resulting in an attitude that a woman reporting rape without injuries should be mistrusted. This mistrust of the victim and the victim's attendant feelings of self-blame aggravate the victim's trauma. On the other hand, a modern rape law based on lack of consent gives the signal that a woman is not available until she has given her consent, resulting in a different starting position for the investigation. Since the will of the victim must be respected, the victim herself must be respected in the legal process. Furthermore, being able to tell one's story in a respectful atmosphere can be more important for the well-being of the victim than the outcome of the reported case.

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I juni 2009 fick Juridiska institutionen vid Stockholms universitet i uppdrag av Rikspolisstyrelsen, Åklagarmyndigheten, Socialstyrelsen och Rättsmedicinalverket att genomföra utvärdering av myndighetssamverkan i gemensamma lokaler kring barn som misstänks vara utsatta för brott, s.k. barnahus. I uppdraget ingick att jämföra förundersökningskvalitet och psykosociala insatser till barn misstänkt utsatta för brott på åtta orter med barnahus och fyra orter utan barnahus.

Skälig misstanke
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral dissertation studies the legal standard of proof called reasonable suspicion (skälig misstanke). This standard is central for criminal investigations as the majority of state criminal procedural actions (tvångsmedel) are tied to it, as well as the majority of a suspect’s rights. Despite the central role played by this standard, it has not to any significant extent been researched previously. What the standard entails cannot be seen from either the law or legislative history, and there are no published cases discussing it. As the meaning of the standard is not clear, there is much room for discretion in assessments as to whether the standard has been met. There consequently is a need to clarify what reasonable suspicion entails. What is required to fulfill the standard? How is reasonable suspicion to be assessed? These questions are answered in this dissertation.My investigation demonstrates that reasonable suspicion is a three-pronged standard:A requirement of preponderance of the evidenceReasonable suspicion entails a requirement of a preponderance of the evidence (sannolikhetsövervikt). This means, somewhat simplified, that it should be more probable that the suspect is guilty than innocent. The hypothesis underlying the reasonable suspicion of alleged guilt (gärningshypotesen) should be more probable than all other plausible hypotheses combined.A requirement of individualizationThe evidence must be sufficiently individualized in order to reach the level of reasonable suspicion. The requirement of individualization is in place to prevent that persons are suspected on the basis of group membership. The same is true with respect to persons belonging to groups where the probability of crime is generally high. In such situations, there must be a concrete circumstance pointing to just that person committing a certain crime. It can be, however, circumstances having very low evidentiary value. Group membership can still be of significance with respect to the suspect, but reasonable suspicion cannot be solely based on group membership. A generally applicable concept as to that distinguishing the general from the individual cannot however be articulated. All evidentiary evaluations are in some form based on generalizations. Consequently, the issue of whether the evidence is sufficiently individualized must be assessed from case to case. The main premise is that suspicion cannot be solely based on group belonging. This is a legal-political requirement. Legal-political aspects consequently must also be taken into consideration when evaluating evidence.A requirement of robustnessEven in cases where the evidence is evaluated so that a preponderance of the evidence exists and is sufficiently individualized, the evidence still needs to be sufficiently robust. Robustness is a measure of whether good grounds exist for the conclusion. It is not a question of how ”strong” the evidence is, but rather how thoroughly the situation has been investigated. Somewhat simplified, it is a question of ”how much” evidence exists rather than the strength of the individual pieces of evidence. This requirement of robustness varies depending upon time in that it is very low at the commencement of an investigation, but as time goes by, higher requirements are placed as to the ”completeness” of the investigation.

Muntlighetsprincipen : En rättsvetenskaplig studie av processuella handläggningsformer i svensk rätt
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral thesis examines the different forms of procedural communication available to the Swedish courts. The choice traditionally stood between oral and written procedure. Today the procedure in the general courts is dominated by the principle of orality, while in the administrative courts, procedure chiefly takes the written form. This being said, the types of communication procedures used in courts today are constantly changing, the reason being, in part, the advent and advancement of new communication tools such as telephone, video and the internet.The cardinal aspiration for this doctoral thesis has been to prepare a generous substructure that will allow an assessment of how the principles that constitute the foundation for the choice of a form of procedural communication stand up against the arrival of new conditions. In attaining this goal the thesis takes stock of, structure, and evaluate the current knowledge of the regulation of the forms of procedural communication and the arguments that have been put forward regarding its design and application.The chosen method is a rhetorical-topical audit of the arguments provided by the legislative community. In addition it examines the relationship between these arguments and the activities of the courts and includes a comparative analysis of the current and historic conditions of the procedural communication forms.In the thesis nine different principle topoi (argument sources) for the analysed argumentation are identified and discussed: The Purpose of the Proceedings, Security, Speed, Cost-effectiveness, the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Decision-making, the Parties, Publicity and the Rules and Regulations.

Likhet inför lagen
- 2005
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Principen om likhet inför lagen är djupt rotad i Sverige, både i det allmänna medvetandet och i lagstiftningens grundprinciper. Men hur fungerar det i praktiken? Är det acceptabelt att tillämpningen skiljer sig mellan stad och land, att domarens kön spelar roll eller att faktorer som kön, klass och etnicitet får avgörande betydelse för rättsprocessens utgång? Slutsatserna i Likhet inför lagen bygger på tusentals faktiska domar och är den första större studien som belyser den pågående strukturella diskrimineringen inom rättsväsendet. I inledningskapitlet presenterar jur. dr Claes Lernestedt en historisk och rättsfilosofisk översikt av principen om likhet inför lagen. Sedan följer en genomgång av kriminologisk forskning om institutionell diskriminering av personer med utländsk bakgrund sammanställd av fil. dr Tove Pettersson. Professor Christian Diesen redogör för tidigare opublicerade forskningsrapporter som visar på såväl negativ särbehandling av invandrare, barn, kvinnor, handikappade och homosexuella som positiv särbehandling av direktörer, poliser och advokater. Fil. dr Torun Lindholm presenterar avslutningsvis internationella och egna socialpsykologiska rön när det gäller fördomar och omedveten diskriminering.
