We have chosen to highlight a specific case in the news media which became heavily debated and sparked discussions whether or not racial profiling is used and applied by Swedish security guards, creating different discourses in various newspaper articles. The thesis has investigated which discourses have been prevalent in news media and what different values and opinions they have voiced using discourse analysis and postcolonial theory. Our findings show that the discourses have mainly considered the side of the security guards in general and that most articles reporting about the events where neutral or siding with the security guards. Some articles where siding with the alleged victim of racial profiling, mainly the debate articles, calling the event a clear example of racism and racial profiling. We also found that many of the articles described the alleged victim with lacking details both about her as a person and the event itself. Our conclusions are that the discourses about the event may suggest that some racist structures can be found among them. Especially regarding the discourses surrounding the alleged victim. rasism rasprofilering postkolonialism media diskursanalys Social Work Socialt arbete
2	Hur upplever unga icke vita killar bemötandet från polisen? : En studie om upplevelser med Stockholmspolisen i ett segregerat bostadsområde Nyori, Denise Lydia, Alemayehu Habte, Bezza January 2021 (has links) The aim of this study is to gain an insight of which views young non-white males have of the Stockholm police and what sort of treatment they receive from the police in their residential areas. The study is based on a qualitative research method that was based on ten individual interviews with young non-white males between the ages of 16–19. All the participants in the study were of sub-saharan African and Middle Eastern descent and resided in the same socially segregated area in Stockholm. Four themes were identified during the study, namely: young non-white male’s views of the police, young non-white male’s experiences with the police, young non-white male’s trust in the police and lastly the impact of attire on police treatments. Furthermore, the results have been analyzed with the help of previous research, theoretical frameworks such as stamping theory and stigma, and concepts such as structural discrimination and racism. The results in these studies showed that young non-white males have a skewed view of the police and a low confidence in the police and the work they perform. The negative view of the police is based on the fact that the young non-white males have had previous experiences of negative police treatments and believe that their skin color, appearance, and residential areas are in fact the reason for the police stops. This result in connection with the descriptions of racial profiling has its similarities as the concept is about people getting treated differently due to their race/ethnicity.

4	Racist Police Practices, Mobilities, and the Production of Urban Space : Power, Resistance, and Subjectification in the City of Malmö Grahn, Elvira January 2023 (has links) This study aims to explore the relationship between racist police practices and the production of space in the city of Malmö, Sweden. Acknowledging the systemic inequalities inherent in Nordic welfarism and how past Swedish colonialist efforts inform such systems, it presupposes that racist police practices should be considered structural rather than dependent on individual actors. To holistically explore how intersections of essentialist categorizations such as race, gender, and class are imposed on individuals, it focuses on the intertwined concepts of space, mobility, power, resistance, and subjectification. Building on three interviews with racialized men with different ethnical backgrounds and class affiliations living in Malmö, the study suggests that the impacts of racist police practices on the informants’ everyday lives are profound. Such practices do not merely restrict and determine physical movement but also shape the production and perception of space, both public and private. While room to maneuver is limited, it is important to recognize that resistance, too, is an element in the production of space. The experiences and narratives of the informants highlight both explicit and implicit acts of resistance as well as self-protection, challenging dominant narratives and protecting them from the gaze and sometimes the violence of the police, and reclaiming space and mobility. Moreover, racist police practices significantly impact processes of self-formation, as racializing and criminalizing stereotypes are internalized through conforming to society’s expectations and through challenging such expectations. In mitigating the impacts of police encounters, the informants modify their daily actions and appearances.

5	En färgblind och föredömlig människorättsstat? : En studie om betydelsen av att motarbeta rasism i syfte att säkerställa Barnkonventionens efterlevnad Benedictsson, Elin January 2023 (has links) In this thesis, I have studied the United Nations concluding observations on Sweden in relation to international human rights obligations. Specifically, in regards to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The Committee on the Rights of the Child have, in their Concluding Observations from 2023, expressed a deep concern about continued racism and discrimination of many children in Sweden. Meanwhile, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has recommended Sweden to take immediate measures for the purpose of eliminating all forms of racial discrimination. In terms of critical analysis, the aim of this thesis has been to study how the Swedish state's international human rights obligations for the purpose of eliminating racial discrimination relates to the implementation of children's rights according to the principle of non-discrimination. According to my study, it is necessary for the Swedish state to promote and respect the human dignity inherent in every child, to be able to guarantee every child within the jurisdiction the rights under the CRC. A central example is the child's right to education in alignment with general human rights principles. Therefore, it is required for the state to prevent the normalization of racism in Sweden, in accordance with the international human rights obligations under the ICERD. This includes, for example, the prohibition of racist organizations in national law, for the purpose of eliminating racist hate speech, and the elimination of racial profiling by national law enforcement. Many children's living conditions and access to the rights under the CRC are affected by racism in several ways, through structural and everyday racism, when they themselves are exposed to racism and when people in their close surroundings experience racism. This has led me to the conclusion that active and immediate measures by the Swedish state, for the purpose of eliminating racial discrimination, are necessary for the possibility of guaranteeing the children who are victims of racism their rights in alignment with the CRC. children's rights racism racial discrimination human dignity racialization segregation racial inequality hate speech racial profiling right to education international human rights elimination of racial discrimination islamophobia afro-swedes non-discrimination barns rättigheter Barnkonventionen rasism rasdiskriminering Rasdiskrimineringskonventionen FN rätt till utbildning ojämlikhet rasprofilering rasistisk hatpropaganda mänskliga rättigheter Law and Society Juridik och samhälle Social Sciences Interdisciplinary
