Sammanfattning De senaste åren har Sverige fått kritik från flera internationella organ angående situationen för frihetsberövade barn och i synnerhet de restriktioner som majoriteten av dem har, vilket ofta medför isolering. Häktade barn befinner sig mitt i inledande rättsprocess samtidigt som de befinner sig i denna isolering. Detta påverkar naturligtvis deras deltagande i rättsprocessen. FN:s koSummary Over the past few years, several international bodies has criticised Sweden regarding the situation children in custody face, with special concern about the restrictions, including isolation, that the majority of the children have to endure. While in this isolation, children in custody are in an early stage of their judicial process. The UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

I study 246 articles published by Göteborgs-Posten, Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen, and compare the time-period 1994-1996 with 2010-2012. Amongst other things, I look at the news-papers' reporting of basic statistical information in their polls, as well as th

This thesis deals with norms and the perception of possibilities. I discuss how norms, individuals and society are interlinked and interdependent. From this basic connection, based on the case of Can Decreix, a centre for practical and theoretical experiments on the topic of degrowth, I explore how a different normality can be established. The way that norms both enable and restrict is discussed a

Umbrella organizations of grassroot innovations can play important roles in facilitating sustainability transitions.

In the small Danish nature park of Jægersborg Dyrehave, there live over two thousand deer. During their lives, they become encounters for visitors, managers of nature, targets to be culled, meat to be eaten, and more. In this thesis, I explore what it means to be deer in Dyrehaven. By applying a posthumanist iteration of performativity, I argue that we need to consider ‘deering’ as a verb, an intr

Immigrants are one of those problematic categories. The following essay studies this categorization of ?immigrants? based on a governmental investigation of structural discrimination that took place in 2002-2008

Lipsky’s concept of street level bureaucracy has been a central part of political science theory for many years but has been used more for certain professions than others. One of these understudied professions is the judge. The judge was, by Lipsky, included in the group from the very beginning but it seems the field itself has not fully accepted this inclusion. Often the reasoning for this has be

I Sverige har lekmän deltagit i våra domstolar sedan 800 år. I dagens svenska domstolar sitter juridisk outbildade men politiskt utvalda nämndemän och dömer sida vid sida med juridiskt utbildade domare. Systemet motiveras med att medborgarna ska få insyn i domstolarna och juristdomarna inte ska tappa kontakten med allmänhetens rättsliga värderingar. På senare tid har enskilda nämndemän uppvisat stLaymen have been a part of the Swedish judiciary for 800 years. Today, politically appointed laymen are judging side by side with legally trained judges in Swedish courts. The system with participation of legally untrained and inexperienced judges is based on the assumption that it increases transparency in the courts, and that the legally trained judges would otherwise lose contact with the peopl
