"It is a constant question about resources, we are very few" : A qualitative study about the police investigation linked to domestic violence (English)
Abstract [en]

Domestic violence is classified as a widespread and a serious problem in society. The aim of the study was to look into possible challenges and factors of success experienced by employees within the Police Authority and the importance of victim participation in the investigation process of cases related to domestic violence in several police areas. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six different investigators at the investigation section focused on domestic violence at the Police Authority. The material was analyzed through a qualitative content analysis and linked to previous research as well as the theory of normalization of violence. The result showed challenges such as a lack of resources, where more investigators, child interrogators, IT forensics and administrative staff are desired to be able to meet the high workload. Further identified challenges are linked to confidentiality between authorities and other actors. The victim's participation in the investigation process is considered to be decisive unless other evidence is available in order to conduct an effective investigation and obtain a conviction in the case.

Abstract [sv]

Våld i nära relationer klassas som ett omfattande och allvarligt samhällsproblem. Syftet med studien var att undersöka eventuella utmaningar och framgångsfaktorer som upplevdes av anställda inom Polismyndigheten samt vilken betydelse offrens medverkan har i utredningsprocessen av ärenden gällande våld i nära relationer i flera polisområden. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex olika utredare på utredningssektionen BINR (brott i nära relation) hos Polismyndigheten. Materialet analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och kopplades till tidigare forskning samt teorin om normaliseringsprocessen. Resultatet visade på utmaningar i form av främst resursbrist, där fler utredare, barnförhörsledare samt specialkompetenser såsom IT-forensiker och administrativ personal önskades för att kunna möta den höga arbetsbelastningen. Vidare identifierades utmaningar kopplat till sekretess mellan myndigheter och andra aktörer. Offrets medverkan i utredningsprocessen ansågs vara avgörande om inte annan stödbevisning fanns, för att kunna bedriva en effektiv utredning och få en fällande dom i ärendet.
