Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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
-
Ingår i: Göteborgs-Posten, Ledarbloggen, 2017-11-20. - 1103-9345.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)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
-
Ingår i: Svenska Dagbladet. ; 2019:4 april
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)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
-
Ingår i: Violence Against Women. ; 16:1, s. 5-31
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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
-
Ingår i: Journal of Gender-Based Violence. - : Policy Press. - 2398-6808 .- 2398-6816. ; 5:1, s. 59-74
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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
-
Ingår i: Sage Open. - 2158-2440. ; 14:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)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
-
Ingår i: II European Conference on Domestic Violence: University of Porto.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.
