In order to understand how the Swedish redress process has functioned this project address its prerequisites. For example, the project examines how the inclusion and exclusion has been redefined in the Swedish redress policy from the establishment of a government inquiry 2006 (The inquiry into abuse and neglect of children in institutions and foster homes) to the official apology in 2011, and subsequently the passing of the Financial Redress Act in 2012. In addition, the role of historians in these deeply historicized processes are discussed.听

While the mission is to offer the victims redress, the financial redress process is designed as a judicial procedure. The applicants must show that they are covered by the legal requisites of the Financial Redress Act. By analysing how the political ambitions set out in the Swedish redress process operate in legal practice within the decision-making of the Redress Board the project investigates the inclusion and exclusion of groups entitled to financial redress. Hence, the project illustrates how the perceptions of vulnerable citizens are constructed in the intersection of redress politics and the legal implementation of said politics. Ultimately this project will contribute to a better understanding of financial compensation as a means of redress.
