Wednesday, February 19
If Salander had been an ordinary citizen, she would most likely have called the police and reported the rape1 as soon as she left Advokat Bjurman’s office. The bruises2 on her neck, as well as the DNA3 signature of his semen staining her body and clothing, would have nailed him. Even if the lawyer had claimed that she wanted to do it or she seduced4 me or any other excuse that rapists routinely used, he would have been guilty of so many breaches5 of the guardianship7 regulations that he would instantly have been stripped of his control over her. A report would have presumably resulted in Salander being given a proper lawyer, someone well-versed in assaults on women, which in turn might have led to a discussion of the very heart of the problem—meaning the reason she had been declared legally incompetent8.
Since 1989, the term “legally incompetent” has no longer been applied9 to adults.
There are two levels of social welfare protection—trusteeship and guardianship.
A trustee steps in to offer voluntary help for individuals who, for various reasons, have problems managing their daily lives, paying their bills, or taking proper care of their hygiene10. The person who is appointed as a trustee is often a relative or close friend. If there is no-one close to the person in question, the welfare authorities can appoint a trustee. Trusteeship is a mild form of guardianship, in which the client—the person declared incompetent—still has control over his or her assets and decisions are made in consultation
