Control, manipulation and lies : Socialworkers´ descriptions of post-separation violence towards women (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna kvalitativa studie syftade till att undersöka socialarbetares beskrivningar av deras erfarenheter kring postseparationsvåld mot kvinnor samt hinder och möjligheter i att motverka detta. Fem socialarbetare från olika organisationer deltog i intervjuerna. Studiens resultat visade att postseparationsvåld är vanligt förekommande men svårt att bevisa. Det framkom att de mest framträdande våldsformerna var det psykiska och ekonomiska våldet där kontroll är avgörande. Studien visade även att samhällets attityder och regelsystem kunde verka både främjande och hindrande i arbetet mot postseparationsvåld vilket vidare analyserades utifrån makt- och feministisk teori. Resultatet bekräftade den tidigare forskningen där utsatta kvinnor beskriver postseparationsvåld och hur myndigheters bedömningar och beslut kan användas som en del av mannens våld mot henne.

Abstract [en]

This qualitative study aimed to examine social workers' descriptions of their experiences concerning post-separation violence against women and the difficulties and possibilities in counteracting this. Five social workers from different organizations were interviewed. The results of the study showed that post-separation violence is common but difficult to prove. It appeared that the most prominent forms of violence were psychological and economic, where control is essential. The study also showed that attitudes and regulatory systems within society could have both a supportive and hindering effect on the work against post-separation violence. This was further analyzedusing power and feminism theories. The result confirmed previous research where women exposed to violence describe post-separation violence and how the assessments and decisions of authorities can be used as a part of the man's violence against her.
