Men's violence against women has long been presented as a serious problem in gender equality policy and the feminist movement. Victim as a problem-A discourse analysis of the police authority's representation of violence in close relationship aims to investigate from a gender analysis how the police handle the problem of violence in close relationship. To achieve the purpose, the study was conducted through interviews with police officers, based on questions about how the police respond to and define the problem. The results show that there is an ignorance among the police in the use of different concepts and definitions, which construct a misrepresentation of the problem of violence in close relationships.
