I used norms, and theories of interpretation to illuminate my result more deeply.
The results of the analysis, relating to the primary aim, show that the regulation consists of a large interpretation-span. The cases I have analyzed usually only consist of the parties statements, while Auditors subjective thoughts lay the foundation for the assessment. Regarding the secondary aim the regulation can be difficult to use from a victimological aspect. The consequences of not applying the rule may result in that victims may feel a certain stigma, primarily in terms of being seen as weak or as a person who can not change their situation. (Less)
