Sex Slaves, Monsters, and Superheroes
Think about the last time you read, heard, or saw anything about sex trafficking. This story includes three set characters: a naïve girl-child, an evil foreigner, and a heroic rescuer. In my research, I have shown that the sex trafficking story follows the classic folk tale of ‘the maiden’s tragedy’.

Interviews During the Pandemic: Why Video Didn’t Kill the Audio Star

As practice becomes policy; children become risky business
The current situation in Sweden with lethal violence among young males, has brought the best interest of the child into conflict with public concerns and security. This was notably highlighted in May 2023 when the Swedish government announced a public inquiry to decrease the age of criminal responsibility from fifteen years down to the age of twelve. Yet, in the present study, I have conducted observations and interviews with police investigators and social workers situated in a particularly disadvantaged area, with the focal point of analysis being problem representation through policy enactment.
