Studenters uppfattning om stalkning skiljer sig åt. Kvinnor anser att flerh ändelser är stalkning medan män tänker att händelserna inte klassificeras som stalkning. Män tänker även att det oftare är offrets egna fel att denne blir utsatt. Det finns ideala brottsoffer och icke-ideala brottsoffer, vilket har att göra med brottsoffrets karaktärstyp. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur studenter uppfattar brottsoffrets utsatthet, beroende på om brottsoffret är idealt eller icke-idealt. Studien har använt en mixed design vilket innebär att de finns både en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ analys. Undersökningen genomfördes på så sätt att respondenter fick läsa en av två berättelser och besvara en tillhörande enkät. Resultaten visar att det finns skillnader i män och kvinnors uppfattning. Kvinnor ansåg att brottsoffrens utsatthet var lika allvarligt oavsett karaktärstyp medan män ansåg att det ideala brottsoffrets utsatthet var allvarligare än det icke-ideala. Kvinnor uppfattar däremot att det icke-ideala brottsoffret hade utsatts för stalkning i högre utsträckning än det ideala, medan män bedömde motsatsen. Respondenterna ansåg att brottsoffren skulle hantera sin utsatta position genom att bland annat anmäla och kontakta sina närstående. Det övergripande resultatet i studien visar att majoriteten studenter uppfattar stalkning som allvarligt men skillnaden är hur allvarligt respondenterna anser att utsattheten är. / Students perception on stalking differ.

The construction of the woman exposed to violence and how she is produced in the Swedish judiciary is important to understand the view of men's violence against the woman. How the woman exposed to violence in today's context are produced by the judiciary in relation to political and media discussions are also affecting social work and its practice. The aim of the study is to, with a norm critical perspective, highlight how women represented and assessed in Swedish district court judgments. We want to investigate how the woman exposed to violence in close relationships is produced and judged in Swedish courts. The study is based on a qualitative research effort and a discourse analysis has been made of 12 district court judgments from different district courts in Sweden. Through a thematic analysis, three themes became clear: “the district court's perception of the credibility of women”, “the course of events based on women's perspectives” and “the district court's considerations in assessing the crime breach, coarse women's violence”. The chosen theoretical approach that has been used to create an understanding of our research problem is norm critical perspective and the concept of ideal crime victim. The results gave us the conclusion that in Swedish district courts there are norms about how women exposed to violence should behave.
