Devin Rexvid

Devin Rexvid is a Lecturer at the Department of Social Work, Stockholm University, focusing on honor-related oppression and violence (HRV) and social work practice. He works at Campus Albano in Stockholm, Sweden.

• Research Group: Violence in Close Relationships
• Current Projects: Social services' efforts in HRV cases, early prevention training programs for preschool staff, and analysis of LVU judgments regarding clothing requirements for at-risk youth.
• Completed Projects: Studies on preschool staff interactions with immigrant mothers in honor contexts.

His research explores how Swedish integration policy and social work practices navigate cultural norm conflicts, gender-specific vulnerabilities, and institutional responses to HRV. His work emphasizes the precarious nature of routine practices in social and healthcare sectors, highlighting standardized knowledge limitations and interprofessional dynamics.

Devin's publications analyze honor-based violence across preschool systems, compulsory care legislation (LVU), and male victim-perpetrator duality. His recent 2024 article on preschool encounters with honor culture follows a 2021 resource center evaluation and 2017 studies on ethical dilemmas in HRV intervention.

He actively contributes to understanding how social workers and general practitioners define clients, manage non-problematic situations, and implement preventive technologies within the framework of Swedish welfare states and European collaborations.
