available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No
Derivatives 4.0 license. While the Nordic countries are listed at
the top in most international rankings of gender equality and
citizens' feelings of security, studies on the prevalence of sexual
victimisation present a different picture, suggesting that the very
countries that have invested much in establishing gender equality
actually see a high prevalence of sexual violence. This book sheds
light on the phenomenon and construction of rape and other forms of
sexual violence within the Nordic region, exploring the ways in
which rape and sexual violence are dealt with through criminal law
and considering governmental policies aimed at combatting it, with
a special focus on legal regulations and developments. Thematically
organised, it offers new research on perpetrators, victimhood,
criminal justice and prevention. Multi-disciplinary in approach, it
brings together the latest work from a range of scholars to offer
insights into the situation in the five Nordic countries, asking
how and why rape and other forms of sexual violence occur, whilst
also addressing the timely issues of online sexual cultures, BDSM
and the grey areas of sexual offences. As such, it will appeal to
scholars of sociology, criminology and law with interests in gender
and sexual violence.

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This edited
collection explores the background and implementation of the Nordic
Barnahus (or 'Children's House') model - recognised as one of the
most important reforms related to children who are the victims of
crime in the Nordic region. This book discusses both its potential
to affect change and the challenges facing it. The model was
introduced as a response to a growing recognition of the need for
more integrated and child-centred services for children exposed to
violence and sexual abuse. In the Barnahus structure, different
professions work together to ensure that victimized children
receive help and treatment and that their legal rights are met.
This original study is organised into four broad themes:
child-friendliness, support and treatment; the forensic child
investigative interview; children's rights perspectives; and
interagency collaboration and professional autonomy. Each themed
section includes in-depth chapters from different Nordic countries,
outlining and analysing the practice and outcomes of the
collaborative work engaged in by Barnahus from different
perspectives. The introductory and concluding chapters offer a
comparative lens useful for policy and practice implementation
within the Nordic welfare state context and beyond, ensuring this
book has global academic and practical appeal.
