Mistenkte barn avhøres etter de samme reglene som voksne, og det foreligger ingen krav til særlig kompetanse hos avhører. Det er per i dag ikke utviklet et tilpasset system for mistenkte barn under kriminell lavalder i politiavhør. Disse faktorer kan lede til en risiko for at barnas rettssikkerhet potensielt settes i fare. Med utgangspunkt i gjeldende rett drøftes hvorvidt det gjelder særregler ved ...

Forskningslitteraturen kan hevdes å bekrefte viktigheten av foreldresamvær, men viser også at det kan være problematisk. ...

<i>Background</i>: The main objective of this project is to create a research and intervention model to promote large-scale implementation and evaluations of generic very brief interventions for children of parents with mental disorders (COPMI).

The five-factor structure is a well-established model for personality. The five traits covary with job-performance and work-relevant outcomes. The practical administration of existing big-five measurement scales is, however, somewhat limited, in a Norwegian setting, as existing scales are impractically large or have unknown psychometric properties. Because of this, a new brief Norwegian personality ...
