Violation and Satisfaction. A Sociology of Law Study of Non-Pecuniary Damages to Victims of Crime. Replication.

This study is a replication of an original study that was published about 10 years ago in 2012 in the doctoral dissertation "Violation and Satisfaction: A Sociology of Law Study of Non-Pecuniary Damages to Victims of Crime" by Karl Dahlstrand. The replication study was conducted to investigate similarities and changes in the "general legal consciousness" in relation to compensation for violations of crime victims and has been carried out in collaboration with the Swedish Crime Victim Authority, funded by “Ulla V Bondeson's Foundation for socio-legal and criminological research" and with Peter Bergwall as research assistant. The project collected data through two surveys: one web survey with repondents from the general public, and one postal survey mailed to crime victims who received criminal injury compensation from the Swedish Crime Victim Authority.
