- The situation of children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) raises certain issues related to child neglect. Little is known about how children exposed to IPV perceive and describe their living conditions. This paper addresses this lack by analysing aspects of fathers’ care in descriptions given by children whose fathers have subjected the mothers to IPV. The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with 10 children aged 8–12 years. Three themes constitute the results. First, the fathers are not described by the children as engaged and responsible care providers. Second, in their general descriptions of how mothers and fathers fill complementary roles for the child, parenthood seems to mean in practice that the mother is the provider of (almost) everything the child may need. Third, the mere absence of violence seems to be judged ‘good-enough’ fathering in the children’s descriptions. Altogether, this leads to the conclusion that being exposed to IPV and believing that mothers are responsible for their welfare precludes children from viewing their fathers as responsible for their well-being. The limited utility for child welfare practice of a ‘child-based’ definition of neglect in cases of IPV is discussed, and alternatives are suggested.

Utsatthet för våld under uppväxten i Sverige : preliminär rapport från 2500 unga vuxna

Ingår i: Den 7:e nordiske konferanse om barnemishandling og omsorgssvikt. ; , s. 17-17

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Barns utsatthet för olika former av våld är ett betydande problem. Internationell forskning visar att ett och samma barn ofta drabbas av flera olika typer av våld, såsom fysisk eller psykisk barnmisshandel, sexuella övergrepp, mobbing respektive att uppleva våld mellan föräldrarna, och försummelse. Internationell forskning visar också att barn som utsätts på flera sätt löper ökad risk för att utsättas även senare i livet.Det övergripande syftet med Resumé-studien (REtrospektiv Studie om Unga Människors Erfarenheter av utsatthet och stöd i unga år) är att, i ett representativt urval av unga vuxna i Sverige, ta reda på hur vanligt det är att de har utsatts för olika typer av våld och försummelse under barndom och ungdomsår.Ett slumpmässigt urval av 2 500 20-24-årin-gar i Sverige har face-to-face-intervjuats och besvarat frågor om utsatthet via en elektronisk enkät.I denna presentation presenteras för första gången resultat från Resumé-studien. Presen-tationen besvarar frågor som: Hur vanligt är det att unga vuxna i åldrarna 20-24 år rapport-erar att de varit utsatta för olika typer av våld? Vem har utfört våldet och var någonstans har personerna utsatts? Hur vanligt är det att man utsatts för olika typer av våld av samma person och/eller i samma miljö i förhållande till att ha utsatts av flera personer och i olika miljöer? Vilka statistiskt typiska och antitypiska kombi-nationer av utsatthet kan utifrån svaren på dessa frågor identifieras bland unga vuxna i Sverige idag?

What we know and need to know about factors that protect youth from problems : a review of previous reviews
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences. - : Elsevier. - 1877-0428. ; 5, s. 477-482

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this article is twofold: 1) To review previous research reviews concerning which factors that have been identified as protecting youth from externalizing and internalizing problem behavior, and 2) To suggest key areas of focus for future research. From the 30 identified reviews, it is clear that there is a quite extensive list of factors that can be considered protective for youth. However, from this review of reviews, it is also clear that many important questions remain unanswered. We list a number of areas within the field that deserve further attention in future research.

Youth victimization in Sweden : prevalence, characteristics and relation to mental health and behavioral problems in young adulthood
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study examines multiple types of victimization simultaneously, their prevalence and characteristics in childhood and adolescence, and the associations between victimization and poly-victimization on the one hand, and single as well as multiple mental health and behavioral prob-lems on the other. The sample consisted of 2,500 Swedish young adults (20–24 years) who provided detailed report of multiple types of life-time victimization and current health and behaviors via an interview and a questionnaire. Results showed that it was more common to be victimized in adolescence as compared to childhood and more common to be victim-ized repeatedly rather than a single time, among both males and females. Males and females were victimized in noticeably different ways and partially at different places and by different perpetrators. With regard to mental health and behavioral problems, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and criminality were clearly over-represented among both males and females who had experienced any type of victimization. Poly-victimization was related to single and multiple mental health and behavioral problems among both males and females. We conclude that professionals need to conduct thorough evaluations of victimization when completing mental health assessments among troubled youths, and that youth might benefit from the development of interventions for poly-victimized youth
