The group has normcritical perspectives as an analytical point of departure, and in focus are questions of how different forms of vulnerability, inequality and skewed resource allocation are reproduced and how preventive measures work. The research conducted has different focuses, for example:

  • studies of society’s action and support to victims of violence
  • the social services’ preventive measures against violence for people with disabilities
  • society’s organisation and efforts for newly-arrived young people
  • ethnicity and gender in dealing with honour-related violence
  • gender, masculinity and health in forensic psychiatric care
  • gender, age and ethnicity in society’s action and support to heavy debtors.

The encounter between ambulance care and patients in a suicidal process regarding causes of contact, documentation and conversations

Before suicide and suicide attempts, most people come in contact with the healthcare system and they show great ambivalence, meaning that there are numerous occasions for people whom come in contact with the patient to interfere and prevent suicide. Ambulance care traditionally have a distinct medical perspective on the patient with focus on severe somatic disease and previous research have shown that mental illness can be considered as secondary and even obstructing from what is considered as legit assignments.
