As humans, we experience many spaces/ borders throughout our life flow. The borders of countries, the houses we live in, the borders of a playground, or the borders between two people. Sometimes we shape the borders, sometimes the borders shape us. However, irrespective of the circumstances, these borders exert discernible influences on the trajectory of our life flow. Each of our border experienc
Våld i nära relation, och i synnerhet mäns våld mot kvinnor, är ett angeläget samhälls- och folkhälsoproblem. Det förebyggande arbetet mot denna brottstyp har tidigare riktats mot den våldsutsatta, snarare än våldsutövaren, vilket kan leda till offerbeskyllande tendenser. Samverkansmetoden “Intimate Partner Violence Intervention” (IPVI) har därför vuxit fram, där våldsutövarna ställs i myndigheter
