- Shedding a Light on Blue: Understand Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment in Swedish Police Work

Following the #MeToo movement and a Facebook campaign known as #Nödvärn (self-defense), sexual and gender-based harassment in the context of Swedish police work has received increased attention. In this presentation, Arian Rostami presents an overview of a study aimed at investigating the occurrence of sexual and gender-based harassment, the common types of harassment, and the organizational factors that Swedish police officers perceive to be enabling the occurrence of such harassment in the police work environment.
