Organized Crime among Youth : Police Officers´ Perceptions of Cooperation with the Social Services (English)
Abstract [en]

Ungdomsbrottsligheten är ett aktuellt samhällsproblem eftersom ungdomar representerar vår framtid och därav blir det av vikt att olika myndigheter har en välfungerande samverkan och har en tydlig ansvarsfördelning under hela processen. Denna kvalitativa intervjustudie syftar till att undersöka polisers upplevelser av samverkan med socialtjänst i arbete med ungdomar som är involverade i organiserad brottslighet. Den kvalitativa datainsamlingsmetoden som användes i studien var semistrukturerade intervjuer med sju poliser i en kommun i Sverige. Samtliga respondenter hade erfarenhet av arbetet med ungdomar som är involverade i organiserad brottslighet och den insamlade empirin analyserades genom en tematisk analys. I resultatet belystes till en början flera samverkansmetoder mellan polis och socialtjänst i arbetet med målgruppen. En negativ bild av samverkan genomgående bland respondenterna där även flera hinder och potential för utveckling av samverkan identifierades i svaren. De största hinder som identifierades berörde sekretesslagstiftningen och de olika organisationernas ansvarstagande. Flera respondenter menade att en lösning på dessa hinder kunde ske genom samlokalisering och en mildare sekretesslagstiftning. 

Abstract [en]

Youth crime is a current social problem because young people represent our future and, therefore it is important that different authorities have a well-functioning collaboration and have a clear division of responsibilities throughout the process. This qualitative interviewstudy aims to investigate police officers´ perceptions of cooperation with the social service that aims to support gang-involved youth. The qualitative data collection method used in this study was semi-structured interviews which were conducted with seven police officers´in a medium sized municipality. All of the respondents had experiences of working with youth who are involved in organized crime, and the empirical data that was collected was analyzed through a thematic analysis. The result showed several cooperation methods that are being used when working with the targeted group between police officers and the social services.The result also showed a negative view of cooperation among all police officers where several obstacles and potential for the development of cooperation were identified. The main obstacles that were identified touched upon the privacy legislation and the organizations acting upon their responsibility. Several respondents claimed that one solution to these obstacles could be co-location and a changes to the privacy legislation.
