“…The name ‘barnahus’ refers to minors, and its focus and practices have chiefly concerned cases involving children. Although its target group is minors, people with ID and ASC also come under its expertise and responsibility (Bredal & Stefansen, 2017 ). However, the focus and priorities of the ‘barnahus’ have been victims of crime, and the large number of cross-examinations of children appears to have overshadowed the needs and knowledge of people with ID, especially those who have been charged with criminal offences (Dahl, 2018 ).…”

The treatment of vulnerable defendants by criminal justice systems or correctional systems varies within and between countries. The purpose of this paper is to examine three legal jurisdictions – New South Wales in Australia; Norway; England and Wales – to understand the extent of variation in practice within the court systems for defendants with intellectual disabilities (ID) and/or autism spectrum conditions (ASC). Two of the jurisdictions had a process for screening in place, either in police custody or at court, but this was not universally implemented across each jurisdiction. All three jurisdictions had a process for supporting vulnerable defendants through the legal system. Across the three jurisdictions, there was variation in disposal options from a mandatory care setting to hospital treatment to a custodial sentence for serious offences. This variation requires further international exploration to ensure the rights of defendants with ID or ASC are understood and safeguarded.

“…Kjernevirksomheten i barnehusene handler imidlertid om tilrettelagte avhør av barn og sårbare voksne, og avhørene gjennomføres nå som hovedregel på barnehus. Barnehusene er inspirasjonen bak opprettelsen av «prosjekt November» -også kalt barnehus for voksne -et samordnet tiltak rettet mot voldsutsatte og utøvere i deres møte med politiet (Bredal & Stefansen, 2017). Disse tiltakene illustrerer den knoppskytingen som har funnet sted.…”

SAMMENDRAG I dette innledende kapittelet presenterer vi noen sentrale utviklingstrekk på feltet vold i naere relasjoner. Målsettingen er å vise at dette er et felt i bevegelse-som også er bokens røde tråd. Over tid har vi fått en mer pluralistisk forståelse av volden. Det har også vaert en stor økning i hjelpetiltak og en bevegelse fra frivillig arbeid mot offentlig styring av tiltakene. I tillegg har vi fått mer oppmerksomhet på forebygging og kontroll. Gjennom bokens kapitler presenteres ny forskning som belyser denne utviklingen på voldsfeltet. NØKKELORD vold i naere relasjoner | teoretiske perspektiver | omfang | hjelp og kontroll ABSTRACT This introductory chapter presents the developments in the changing field of violence in close relationships, a leitmotif in the book. Over time, we have gained a more pluralistic understanding of the violence. It has also been an increase in aid measures, as well as a movement from voluntary work towards public running of services. Moreover, there has been an increased focus on prevention and control. New research, shedding light on this development, is presented through the chapters of this book.
