Socio-demographic and psychosocial characteristics of male and female perpetrators in intimate partner homicide : A case-control study from Region Västra Götaland, Sweden
- 2021
-
In: PLOS ONE. - : Public Library of Science. - 1932-6203. ; 16:8
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Risk factor studies on male-perpetrated intimate partner homicide (IPH) are often compared with studies on intimate partner violence (IPV) or non-partner homicide perpetrators. This not only excludes female perpetrators, but also fails to take socio-demographic and psychosocial differences between perpetrators and the general population into consideration. The aim of this study was to examine male- and female-perpetrated IPH cases, and to compare socio-demographic factors in IPH perpetrators and in matched controls from the general population. Data were retrieved from preliminary inquiries, court records and national registers for 48 men and 10 women, who were perpetrators of IPH committed in 2000–2016 and residing in Region Västra Götaland, Sweden. The control group consisted of 480 men and 100 women matched for age, sex and residence parish. Logistic regression, yielding odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), was performed for male perpetrators and male controls to investigate associations for selected socio-demographic and psychosocial characteristics. This was not performed for females due to the small sample size. Female perpetrators were convicted of murder to a lesser extent than male perpetrators. No woman was sentenced to life imprisonment while five men were. Jealousy and separation were the most common motivational factors for male perpetration while the predominant factor for female perpetrators was subjection to IPV. Statistically significant differences were found between male perpetrators and male controls in unemployment rate (n = 47.9%/20.6%; OR 4.4; 95% CI 2.2–8.6), receiving benefits (n = 20.8%/4.8%; OR 5.2; 95% CI 2.3–11.7) and annual disposable income (n = 43.8%/23.3% low income; OR 5.2; 95% CI 1.9–14.2) one year prior to the crime. Female IPH perpetrators were less educated than female controls (≤ 9-year education 30%/12%) and were more often unemployed (70%/23%) one year before the crime. Male and female IPH perpetrators were socio-economically disadvantaged, compared with controls from the general population.

Forskare i könsrelaterat våld svarar David Eberhard : Okunskap i GP om #MeeToo och sexuella kränkningar
- 2017

Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Syftet med denna artikel är att granska och problematisera en gästkrönika i Göteborgs-Posten den 6 november 2017, där psykologen David Eberhard kritiserar #metoo-rörelsen. Med exempel från lagstiftning och aktuell forskning diskuterar artikelförfattarna, sex forskare i könsrelaterat våld vid Institutionen för Socialt arbete, Göteborgs universitet, hur krönikan präglas av okunskap om sexuella kränkningar och tidigare kvinnorörelsers arbete; och hur den uttrycker en könsdiskriminerande och stigmatiserande attityd till dem som nu bryter tystnaden om egna erfarenheter. Artikeln är en replik till Eberhard som publicerades på Göteborgs-Postens ledarblogg den 20 november 2017.

”Visa i handling vad arbetet mot mäns våld är värt”
- 2019
-
In: Svenska Dagbladet. ; 2019:4 april
-
Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Mitt i debatten om Josefin Nilsson och det våld mot henne som närstående berättar om i SVT-dokumentären ”Älska mig för den jag är”, tillkännager regeringen, C och L att de föreslår 45 miljoner i vårbudget för att bekämpa mäns våld mot kvinnor. Flera medier kallar det en storsatsning men är det verkligen det, frågar våldsforskare, #metoo-upprop och organisationer. Med hjälp av aktuell forskning argumenterar de för att detta är långt ifrån tillräckligt, kräver större vårbudget mot mäns våld mot kvinnor och bjuder in riksdag och regering till dialog.

"A Fool to Keep Staying": Battered Women Labeling Themselves Stupid as an Expression of Gendered Shame
- 2010
-
In: Violence Against Women. ; 16:1, s. 5-31
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this qualitative study with women who have left abusive heterosexual relationships, the informants labeling themselves stupid is investigated. Several different meanings ascribed to stupidity were found, with feeling stupid for allowing oneself to be mistreated and for staying in the abusive relationship as main themes. Four frames for interpreting the findings are presented: abusive relationship dynamics, gendered shame, the gender-equality-oriented Nordic context, and leaving processes. It is proposed that feeling— and labeling oneself—stupid is an expression of gendered shame or, more explicitly, of battered shame.

Att följa med samtiden : kvinnojoursrörelse i förändring
- 2013
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denna bok handlar om rörelsepolitik, det vill säga en social rörelses politiska påverkansmöjligheter. Det är den första studien av en riksorganisation inom den svenska kvinnojoursrörelsen och har såväl ett historiskt som dagsaktuellt anslag. Sveriges Kvinno- och Tjejjourers Riksförbund (SKR) bröt sig ur Riksorganisationen för kvinnojourer och tjejjourer (Roks) i Sverige vid mitten av 1990-talet i samband med en konflikt vars ideologiska kärna var synen på feminism, män och barn. Ur SKR:s perspektiv handlade konflikten också om olika synsätt på organisation, demokrati och öppenhet. I boken analyseras de skiljelinjer som SKR valde att fokusera vid starten och i den fortsatta verksamheten. Samtidigt undersökt vilken påverkan den nya organisationen haft på den politiska dagordningen. Vilka framgångar kan skönjas och vad har offrats på vägen? Här analyseras samtidspolitiska förändringar genom en ideell organisations formering och utveckling och i relation till både det civila samhället och staten.

Before the killing: Intimate partner homicides in a process perspective, part I
- 2021
-
In: Journal of Gender-Based Violence. - : Policy Press. - 2398-6808 .- 2398-6816. ; 5:1, s. 59-74
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper puts intimate partner homicide (IPH) into a process perspective, and describes the situational precursors that constitute the build-up, i.e. the first stage of the IPH process that precedes the deed. Fifty court files, from cases involving 40 male and 10 female perpetrators, underwent thematic analysis. Our findings indicate that the build-up phase of an IPH is complex and encompasses several different features, of which some are clearly gendered. The results point to an escalation during the build-up: of possessiveness and violent behaviour in male-to-female cases, of alcohol/drug abuse, of mental health problems and/or of fears for the future, often connected to separation. Concurrent with previous research we found that women often kill in the context of their own victimisation. However, also other situations and motives protruded as pertinent. The practical implications of these findings are that practitioners should be particularly attentive to escalation of known risk factors, especially male possessiveness, and be aware that (the victim wanting) a separation may initiate escalation with lethal consequences.

Bereaved by Intimate Partner Homicide: Consequences and Experiences of Support
- 2024
-
In: Sage Open. - 2158-2440. ; 14:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this qualitative study is to present the experiences of family members bereaved by intimate partner homicide (IPH). The focus is on immediate and long-term consequences of the killing, and on the participants' experiences of subsequently offered information and support. This includes interactions with healthcare, social services, the criminal justice system, and the media. Twenty-two interviews with parents, siblings, and adult children of IPH victims underwent thematical analysis. The bereaved mainly described the social support following the IPH as lacking or inadequate, and recounted that they had been left alone with handling practical and emotionally difficult tasks, such as cleaning up after the killing. More specifically, they felt that institutional responses had been lacking with regard to information, understanding, coordination between professionals, continuity, professionalism, and redress. These results indicate that a coordinated response to people bereaved by IPH is necessary and, if lacking, must be developed. Using thematic analysis, this interview study explores the experiences of family members who have been bereaved by intimate partner homicide. The focus is on the social support they were offered, which they found lacking or inadequate. In hindsight, they would have wanted some professional to reach out to the family and offer emotional and practical support, as well as information.

Gendered shame in battered women
- 2017
-
In: II European Conference on Domestic Violence: University of Porto.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Gendered shame in battered women Women who have experience of living with violent men often report feeling ashamed. They may feel intense shame over the abuse or may have internalized the abusers’ derogative view of them, leading to negative and shame-inducing evaluations of themselves. Further, they often experience or fear shaming by others, not only their perpetrators. Women have reported feeling shame both for staying in, and leaving, the relationship. They may feel shame about staying in the relationship and by that allegedly “allowing” themselves to be abused. But they may also feel shame about not being able to make the relationship work, and by that failing to meet cultural expectations of women to be good relationship builders and family preservers. Shame has been extensively examined in the field of sociology as a self-conscious and moral emotion guiding human interaction. With feminist theory on violence against women and sociological theories of emotion as theoretical points of departure, the author explores battered women’s feelings of shame. The paper presents a phenomenological model in which battered women’s shame is represented as a multifaceted prisma, consisting of five main “facets”: stigma, blame, victim stereotyping, cultural imperatives to stay/leave and subordination. This model is lined out in detail and battered women’s shame is analyzed as a gendered emotion, leading to gendered conformity or subordination, and (thus) as an important micro-macro link.

Intimate partner homicide in West Sweden 2000-2014
- 2015
-
In: Fighting Femicide Conference: Queen Mary University of London.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This is a study at planning stage. The study aims to map and describe all intimate partner homicides perpetrated in West Sweden during the last 15 years (approx. 50 cases). The study has a special focus on the role of health care workers; had they or had they not identified intimate partner violence prior to the homicide? Could identification and prevention be enhanced and how? The project will proceed in two stages. In the first stage archive data – i.e. national registers of different kinds, police investigations, court material, social services and health care records – will be analyzed. In the second stage some cases will be selected for further and deeper understanding, via interviews with professionals as well as with family to the victim, and possibly also with the perpetrators.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Intimate partner homicide in West Sweden 2000-2016 This study aims to map and describe all intimate partner homicides perpetrated in West Sweden during the chosen time period. The major aim of the project is to identify risk factors for intimate partner homicide (IPH), which could possibly contribute to prevention work. The intention is to search for possible gaps in the coordination of collaboration and reporting between agencies and authorities, such as health care, criminal justice and social services. Further, the experiences of family and friends who have been bereaved will be explored, as well as the perceptions of the perpetrators and their family and friends. The study has a special focus on the role of health care workers; had they or had they not identified intimate partner violence prior to the homicide? Could identification and prevention be enhanced and how? The project includes several sub-studies and proceeds in two stages. In the first stage registry and criminal justice data (mainly court files) are investigated. In the second stage 10 heterogeneous cases of IPH are chosen for an in-depth analysis, including case material such as police investigations, court material, social services and health care records as well as interviews. At the conference we will present some preliminary findings from the study’s first stage.

Intimate partner homicides in a process perspective
- 2019
-
In: 3rd European Conference on Domestic Violence. Oslo 2-4 september 2019.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Intimate partner homicides in a process perspective Introduction In their pivotal work on men who murder women, Dobash & Dobash (2014) write about the project that changes: from trying to keep the woman in the relationship and/or under his control to deciding to kill her, as punishment, when he realizes that this can (no longer) be attained. This was a point of departure for this study, in which we aimed to describe what this process entails. Methods The study presented is part of the STOP study, which aims to map and describe all intimate partner homicides perpetrated in West Sweden 2000-2016. In this qualitative study, 50 court files with 40 male and 10 female perpetrators were analyzed using thematic analysis. The research questions guiding our research were: When does the project change? What does the buil-up for the killing entail? and finally What does the aftermath of the deadly violence look like? Our rationale for focusing on IPH a process perspective was that many risk factors for IPH have been described in previous research, but it may be difficult put these into context. In many cases, several risk factors can be found; but which are most pertinent of the time of the crime? Further we sought to analyze in what way women’s changing of the project, i.e. deciding to kill their partners, are different from or similar to men´s. Results We discerned a process in which the borders between charging up to kill, and actually making this decision, were blurry. Yet some distinctive features of this process were visible. Further we found that possessiveness was a more prominent theme when the perpetrators were male. Conclusion A process perspective is valuable in understanding IPHs.

Jekyll and Hyde or "Who is this Guy?" - Battered women's interpretations of their abusive partners as a mirror of opposite discourses
- 2010
-
In: Women's Studies International Forum. ; 33:2, s. 81-90
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this qualitative study with 22 Swedish women who have left abusive heterosexual relationships, the informants’ interpretations of their abusers as “Jekyll and Hyde” are analysed against the background of two opposite discourses: the pathology/deviance discourse and the feminist/normality discourse. Complex mixes and combinations of understandings were found in the informants’ interpretations, which were, however, dominated by conceptualisations traceable to the pathology/deviance discourse. During analysis of the material a third image emerged, beyond Jekyll and Hyde, i.e. the abusers as “hurt boys”.

The killing and thereafter : intimate partner homicides in a process perspective, part II
- 2022
-
In: Journal of Gender-Based Violence. - Bristol : Policy Press. - 2398-6808 .- 2398-6816. ; 6:3, s. 501-517
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article puts intimate partner homicide (IPH) into a process perspective, and describes the latter two stages of the IPH process, that is, ‘changing the project’ and ‘the aftermath’. The focus of analysis is on the moment when the perpetrator chooses to kill the victim, and what s/he does and says in the wake of the killing. Fifty court files, from cases involving 40 male and 10 female perpetrators, underwent thematic analysis. Regarding the final trigger pertaining to changing the project, some situational factors that trigger male-perpetrated IPH seem to differ from the corresponding factors in female-perpetrated IPH. Feelings of rejection and jealousy seemed to be more common as triggers to kill for men than for women, while some cases of female-perpetrated IPH were linked to self-defence in response to IPV. Moreover, as noted previously, no female perpetrators displayed possessiveness.

Violent Women? The Challenge of Women's Violence in Intimate Heterosexual Relationships to Feminist Analyses of Partner Violence
- 2011
-
In: NORA -Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research. ; 19:2, s. 105-123
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to describe the academic discussion on gender symmetry, emphasizing the responses of feminist researchers to the questions raised by reports of women's violence against men in intimate relationships. The article serves as an introduction to an academic debate that has been lively in the United States and, to some extent, in Great Britain, but hitherto not in the Nordic countries. The author argues that the discussion on gender symmetry shows that the domestic violence field is ready for multi-faceted analyses of gender and violence that make it evident that all violence is gendered.

Violent women? The challenge of women’s violence in intimate heterosexual relationships to feminist analyses of partner violence
- 2013
-
In: Interpersonal Violence Interventions - Social and Cultural Perspectives, IPVI2013.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Reports of women’s violence against men and claims of gender symmetry in domestic violence challenge feminist analyses. Moreover, they raise interesting questions for feminist researchers. The aim of this paper is to describe the academic discussion on gender symmetry, with an emphasis on feminist researchers’ responses to the questions raised by reports of women’s violence against men in intimate relationships. The paper serves as an introduction to an academic debate that has been lively in the United States and, to some extent, in Great Britain, but hitherto not in the Nordic countries, where research on women’s violence against men in intimate relationships is a fairly new development in the domestic violence field. The paper maps out the different methodological approaches underpinning the gender symmetry debate and summarizes the critique of the kind of research that has found gender symmetry in domestic violence. By doing so the author hopes to prevent some apparent methodological mistakes from being repeated, but also argue that the discussion on women’s use of violence may encourage feminist researchers to develop even more nuanced and multifaceted analyses of gender and violence.

“We are not radical feminists" - the collective identity of a national Swedish women's shelter organisation
- 2015
-
In: 2015 Annual conference of the European Network on Gender and Violence (ENGV).
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The Swedish shelter movement has a history of 30 years and is organised in two national organisations, who provide service to roughly 300 shelters and also give voice to the movement. The study presented pictures the history and current policies of the newer of the two organisations, recently renamed Unizon. Unizon (then SKR) started 1996 as a break-out organisation from the National Organisation for Women's Shelters and Young Women's Shelters in Sweden (Roks) following internal turmoil and ideological conflict. Based on archive material, interviews with key persons within the movement as well as within official politics, and participant observations during one year of Unizon's activities, the study gave a dense picture of Unizon's political impact on current VAW policies in Sweden. Further, using a social movement perspective, the study pictured the collective identity of Unizon as - still - being the opposite of (what is perceived as) Roks; not being radical feminist, not "hating men", being an open and democratic organisation and being tuned in on the needs of children. The historical background to and development of this collective identity, and what kinds of actions and policies it opens for or limits is the focus of this discussion paper.

Why does she leave? : The leaving process(es) of battered women
- 2008
-
In: Health Care for Women International. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0739-9332 .- 1096-4665. ; 29:3, s. 200-226
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article, the authors present the main findings from a qualitative study of processes undergone by women who have left abusive male partners. Three overlapping leaving processes are described: Breaking Up, Becoming Free, and Understanding. Breaking Up covers action (i.e., the physical breakup), and the turning point by which it is preceded or with which it coincides is analyzed. Becoming Free covers emotion and involves release from the strong emotional bond to the batterer, a process that entails four stages. Understanding covers cognition, and is a process in which the woman perceives and interprets what she has been subjected to as violence and herself as a battered woman.

Women Leaving Violent Men: Crossroads of Emotion, Cognition and Action
- 2008
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis addresses battered women’s leaving processes. Leaving is conceptualised in a wider sense, i.e. as disentanglement from violent relationships beyond the physical break-up. The general aim of the thesis is to study how emotion and cognition are shaped around the act of leaving. Feminist theory on violence against women and the sociology of emotions are the main theoretical frameworks used to enhance understanding of women’s exiting from violence. The thesis is built on two sets of qualitative interview material with women who have left abusive heterosexual relationships. The material consists of a total of 49 interviews. In Paper I, Why Does She Leave? The Leaving Process(es) of Battered Women, three overlapping leaving processes are described: Breaking Up, Becoming Free and Understanding. Breaking Up covers action, i.e. the physical breakup. Becoming Free covers emotion and involves release from the strong emotional bond that battered women may develop to their batterers. Understanding covers cognition and is a process that entails women defining the relationships they have lived in as abusive and themselves as victimised. In Paper II, A Fool to Keep Staying” – Battered Women Labelling Themselves “Stupid” as an Expression of Gendered Shame, the informants labelling themselves “stupid” is investigated. Feeling stupid for staying in the abusive relationship and “allowing” oneself to be mistreated are the main themes. It is proposed that feeling–and labelling oneself –stupid is an expression of gendered shame and reflects unfinished Understanding processes. In Paper III, Leaving Jekyll and Hyde – Emotion Work in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence, battered women’s emotion work is investigated. The results suggest a process in which victims initially conceptualised abusers as good, but subjection to violence led to a cognitive-emotive dissonance responded to by emotion work. Over time, conceptualisations of abusers shifted from good to bad and efforts were made to change emotions from warm to cold. In Paper IV, Jekyll and Hyde or “Who is this Guy?” – Battered Women’s Interpretations of their Abusive Partners as a Mirror of Opposite Discourses, the informants’ interpretations of their abusers as “Jekyll and Hyde” are analysed against the background of two opposite discourses: the pathology/deviance discourse and the feminist/normality discourse. Complex mixes and combinations of understandings were found in the informants’ interpretations which were, however, dominated by the pathology/deviance discourse. During analysis of the material, a third image emerged, beyond Jekyll and Hyde, i.e. the abusers as “hurt boys”; it was argued this image might prolong the Becoming Free process and serve as a direct impediment to leaving. The results of the thesis indicate that emotion and cognition are interconnected and in process around the act of leaving.

Dödligt våld i nära relationer: Ett pågående projekt
- 2022
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Rapporten är en sammanfattning av ett pågående forskningsprojekt som handlar om dödligt våld i nära relationer och pågår inom ramen för Västra Götalandsregionens kompetenscentrum om våld i nära relationer (VKV). Rapporten är baserad på tre publicerade forskningsartiklar om dödligt våld i nära relationer inom Västra Götalandsregionen. Fokus i rapporten är att redogöra för de fynd som forskningen hitintills kommit fram till. Studierna som presenteras inom rapporten är baserad på 59 fall av dödligt våld i nära relationer som har skett i Västra Götalandsregionen under år 2000 – 2016. I studierna används två olika analysmetoder, där en av artiklarna använder statistiska analyser för att jämföra psykosociala och sociodemografiska faktorer mellan förövare av dödligt våld i nära relationer och matchade kontroller från normalpopulationen. I de två övriga artiklarna används av tematisk analys för att observera de enskilda fallen av dödligt våld i nära relationer genom ett processperspektiv. Forskningsresultaten ger ny insikt i de faktorer som påverkar och har samband med dödligt våld i nära relationer. Resultaten ger en utökad förståelse för de situationer som förövarna befinner sig i och det dödliga våldet begås, och en ökad möjlighet att kunna identifiera riskfaktorer.

Self-reported exposure to intimate partner violence among women and men in Sweden: results from a population-based survey
- 2013
-
In: BMC Public Health. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1471-2458. ; 13, s. 845-858
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Few population-based studies assessing IPV among randomly selected women and men have been conducted in Sweden. Hence, the aim of the current study was to explore self-reported exposure, associated factors, social and behavioural consequences of and reasons given for using psychological, physical and sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) among women and men residing in Sweden. Methods: Cross-sectional postal survey of women and men aged 18–65 years. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with exposure to IPV. Results: Past-year IPV exposure rates were similar in women and men; however, earlier-in-life estimates were higher in women. Poor to moderate social support, growing up with domestic violence and being single, widowed or divorced were associated with exposure to all forms of IPV in men and women. Women and men tended to report different social consequences of IPV. Conclusions: Our finding that women reported greater exposure to IPV earlier-in-life but not during the past year suggests the importance of taking this time frame into account when assessing gender differences in IPV. In-depth, qualitative studies that consider masculinities, femininities power and gender orders would be beneficial for extending and deepening our understanding of the gendered matter of IPV.

Theoretical Considerations on Men's Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence: An Interview-Based Study
- 2016
-
In: Journal of Family Violence. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0885-7482 .- 1573-2851. ; 31:2, s. 191-202
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abstract This study aims at exploring and interpreting men’s experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the light of selected current theoretical contributions to the field, with an emphasis on Michael P. Johnson’s violence typology. The material consisted of twenty interviews with men who self-identified as having been subjected to IPV. Men generally did not consider physical violence to be threatening when it was perpetrated by women. They were also not subjected to the multiple control tactics that define the intimate terrorism category of Johnson’s violence typology, lending support to the argument that women’s and men’s experiences of IPV differ in opposite-sex relationships. Furthermore, our findings encourage the integration of structural inequalities related to gender and sexuality in analyses of men’s experiences of IPV.
