- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to create an understanding of how decision makers within social services’ children and youth work resonate regarding the incorporation of the Children’s Rights Convention (CRC). The study is based on six qualitative interviews with professional social workers in different parts of Sweden. Theories within sociology of law were applied in the analysis of the results to illustrate the gap problem within law in books and law in action. Furthermore Hydéns (2002) model of how norms come into existence and become established was used to describe the necessary preconditions for the use of the CRC to turn into a norm within social work.

Additionally, Hydéns (2002) model of the structure of laws was applied to create an understanding of the effects of the law. The result of the study suggests that the incorporation of the CRC lacked preparations and guidelines, according to the social workers. Moreover, the decision makers described that the CRC collides with other Swedish laws that contain stronger norms, such as the parent’s rights to decide in contrast to the children’s right to be heard. In conclusion the decision makers do not perceive a big difference in their work since the incorporation of the CRC. They do on the other hand hope that the CRC will show effects within social work in Sweden in the future.
Key words: Children’s Rights Convention, incorporation, decision makers, sociology of law. (Less)
