The methodological approaches that are used in the study are qualitative. A qualitative content analysis of 32 custody care verdicts from an administrative court in Sweden have been used to see whether women and men are judged and treated equally or if gender makes a difference and in which way the judgement is different? The result of the study shows that there are differences how men and women are described in the sentenceses and treated in court. (Less)
