Den 4 maj 2021 publicerades betänkandet Ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer (SOU 2021:27) med ett lagförslag om kriminalisering av rasistiska organisationer. Frågan om att införa ett sådant förbud i Sverige har varit återkommande sedan FN:s internationella konvention om avskaffandet av alla former av rasdiskriminering ratificerades på 1970-talet.

Omskärelsen som företeelse har sina rötter årtusenden tillbaka i tiden och genomförs runt om i världen av olika skäl. Den religiöst motiverade omskärelsen på minderåriga pojkar är tillåten i Sverige genom lag (2001:499) om omskärelse av pojkar (OmskL). Lagens utformning underbyggs av argument avseende religionsfrihet och vårdnadshavarens rätt att uppfostra sina barn i enlighet med deras religiösa The phenomenon of circumcision dates thousands years back and is performed all around the world for various reasons. The religiously motivated circumcision of underage boys has been permitted in Sweden under the law on circumcision of boys from 2001. The formulation of the law is underpinned by arguments relating to religious freedom and the right of custodians to raise their children in accordanc

Through an interview study and by using Samverkansmodellen and Resource Dependence Theory as a theoretical framework, this study aims to examine which strategies were used during and
Many people are struggling with eco-anxiety, a chronic fear of environmental doom. Currently, eco-anxiety is managed through face-to-face psychotherapy, but with a lack of eco-anxiety psychology specialists, mobile mental-health applications bring new possibilities. In this thesis, current psychological eco-anxiety management responses (EMRs) are thematically analysed through the lens of Integral
The purpose of this study is to examine the ways in which health care counsellors in psychiatry for adults relate to the requirement of wearing white work clothes and how the white work clothes affect the psychosocial conversation. No previous research has been found on this matter in a Swedish context or for health care counsellors in particular. In this study, seven health care counsellors who w

This thesis examines whether ren
Kvinnor som förövare har historiskt sett varit ett relativt outforskat ämne. Den kriminologiska forskningen har utgått från studier på män samt utveck-lat teorier baserade på män. Kriminellt beteende har setts som avvikande från normativa föreställningar kring det kvinnliga könet och femininiteter. Ett specifikt kriminellt beteende som kan sägas än mer avvika från norma-tiva femininiteter är då kv
