Abstract (Swedish)
I framkant för problematiserandet av de svenska domstolarnas efterlevande av objektivitetsprincipen enligt 1 kap. 9 § RF inom ramen för brottmålsrätte-gången står särskilt Ulrika Andersson, Monica Burman och Moa Bladinis forskningsinsatser. Medan Andersson och Burman, kort sammanfattat, inom sina respektive avhandlingar visar på hur diskurserna vid prövningen av den tilltalades skuld i praktiken har tenderat till att snarare skuldbelägga målsägan-den, belyser Bladini hur diskurserna inom den etablerade rättsvetenskapen och rättstillämpningen ger upphov till ett positivistiskt objektivitetsideal genom att uppmana domare till att vid dömandet se utan att synas och utan att se sig själva. Min egna mycket begränsade undersökning är en ansats... (More)

Min egna mycket begränsade undersökning är en ansats till att proble-matisera domstolens efterlevande av objektivitetskravet gentemot målsäganden på ännu ett sätt. Närmare bestämt undersöker jag hur målsäganden, åklagaren och den tilltalades intressen konstrueras genom lagstiftning med förarbeten och litteratur samt hur konstruktionerna som en diskurs ger upphov till repre-sentationer av parternas intressen inför domstolen. Genom att kontrastera re-presentationerna mot varandra som en intressekonflikt och diskutera hur sär-skilt målsägandens intressen därigenom representeras inför domstolen, påvi-sar jag bl.a. att det föreligger en obalans inom rättegångens representation vil-ken i sin tur ger upphov till potentiella effekter på domstolens dömande till nackdel för målsäganden. Slutligen diskuterar jag kort hur dessa effekter möj-ligen tolkas inom rättssystemet mot bakgrund av skiftet 1948 från en inkvisi-torisk till ackusatorisk process. (Less)
Abstract
At the forefront of the problematization of the Swedish courts’ adherence to the objectivity requirement according to the 1 chapter 9 § RF within the framework of the criminal trial, the research efforts of Ulrika Andersson, Monica Burman and Moa Bladini stand out in particular. While Andersson and Burman in their respective dissertations, briefly summarized, show how the discourses within the examinations of the defendant’s guilt have in prac-tice tended rather to blame the plaintiff, Bladini shows how the discourses within the established jurisprudence and the application of the law a positivist ideal of objectivity by urging the judges in their assessment to see without being seen and without seeing themselves.

At the forefront of the problematization of the Swedish courts’ adherence to the objectivity requirement according to the 1 chapter 9 § RF within the framework of the criminal trial, the research efforts of Ulrika Andersson, Monica Burman and Moa Bladini stand out in particular. While Andersson and Burman in their respective dissertations, briefly summarized, show how the discourses within the examinations of the defendant’s guilt have in prac-tice tended rather to blame the plaintiff, Bladini shows how the discourses within the established jurisprudence and the application of the law a positivist ideal of objectivity by urging the judges in their assessment to see without being seen and without seeing themselves. My own very limited investigation is an attempt to problematize the court’s compliance with the objectivity re-quirement towards plaintiffs in yet another way. More precisely, I have inves-tigated how the interests of the plaintiff, the prosecutor and the defendant are constructed through legislation along with preparatory works and literature, and how these constructions as a discourse create representations of the par-ties’ interests before the court. By contrasting the representations against each other as a conflict of interest and discussing how the plaintiff’s interests in particular are thereby are represented before the court, I demonstrate that there is an imbalance within the representation of the trial which in turn leads to potential effects on the court’s judgement to the disadvantage of the plaintiff. Finally, a brief discussion is dedicated to how these effects might be interpret-ed within the legal system with consideration to the shift 1948 from an inquisitorial to an accusatory process. (Less)
