- Abstract (Swedish)
- Kön och könsskillnader har kanske aldrig varit så omdebatterade som nu. Det finns dock ett ställe där könet inte ska få spela någon roll. Vid rättstillämpningen i våra domstolar. Där gäller istället principen om allas likhet inför lagen. Syftet med denna uppsats är att applicera den principen på tillämpningen av 3 § lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) och specifikt rekvisitet socialt nedbrytande beteende. Genom att undersöka gällande rätt och 88 avgöranden från Förvaltningsrätten i Malmö ska frågan om rekvisitet tillämpas olika på pojkar och flickor besvaras.
De slutsatser som kan dras är att domstolen använder olika begrepp för att beskriva den unges beteende beroende på om det är en pojke eller flicka....

Genom att undersöka gällande rätt och 88 avgöranden från Förvaltningsrätten i Malmö ska frågan om rekvisitet tillämpas olika på pojkar och flickor besvaras.
De slutsatser som kan dras är att domstolen använder olika begrepp för att beskriva den unges beteende beroende på om det är en pojke eller flicka. Vidare talar undersökningen om att flickor och pojkar visar sitt socialt nedbrytande beteende på olika sätt. Det beteende som pojkar uppvisar stämmer oftare överens med de riktlinjer och exempel som nämns i förarbeten och praxis. Detta stöds vidare av tidigare forskning.
För flickornas del betyder detta att domstolen tillämpar rekvisitet något extensivare för att kunna inkludera den så kallade flickproblematiken.
Vid första anblick kan det se ut som att principen om likhet inför lagen inte upprätthålls. Men det beror på vilken likhet som menas. Genom domstolens tillämpning blir pojkar och flickor materiellt lika inför lagen. Slutresultatet blir det samma. Om domstolen inte tillämpat rekvisitet på detta sätt hade antagligen många flickor inte fått den vård de behöver. (Less) - Abstract
- Gender is a heavily discussed topic in today’s debate. However, there is one place where it should not be given importance, in our courts, due to the principle of equality before the law. The purpose of this essay is to apply that principle on the Swedish courts’ application of the 3 § of the care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act, (LVU). 3 § LVU mentions three grounds for when a young person can get compulsory institutional care. The ground that this essay will focus on is when a young person shows a socially degrading behaviour. The main issue is whether this ground is applied differently to boys and girls. By studying applicable law and 88 judgements from the Administrative court in Malmö, Sweden, this question must be answered.... (More)

The ground that this essay will focus on is when a young person shows a socially degrading behaviour. The main issue is whether this ground is applied differently to boys and girls. By studying applicable law and 88 judgements from the Administrative court in Malmö, Sweden, this question must be answered.
The conclusions that can be drawn are firstly that the court uses a different language when describing the behaviour of the youth depending on whether there is a boy or a girl. Furthermore, the study shows that boys and girls express their socially degrading behaviour in different ways. The behaviours that boys exhibit are more consistent with the guidelines and examples mentioned in the legislative history and established practice, which can also be seen in previous research by other scholars. For the girls, this means that the court applies a more liberal legal interpretation in order to include their problems.
At first sight, you might think that the principle of equality before the law is being neglected. But that depends on what you mean by equality. By the court´s liberal legal interpretation of the concept socially degrading behaviour, boys and girls are treated materially equal in terms of the result. If the court did not apply the ground socially degrading behaviour, in 3 § LVU in this way, many girls would probably not have received the care they need. (Less)
