Arbetet mot våldsbejakande extremism på kommunal nivå

Sammanfattning: The aim of my thesis was to examine how the work against violent extremism was applied at the municipal level and how this work can be used to reduce risk as the threat of violent extremism pose. My object of study is two municipalities, Malmö stad and Örebro kommun. In terms of size they are different but they both share the experience of the challenges of violent extremism and therefore fulfill an important criterion for me in my quest to provide the opportunity for generalization of the findings that this study intends to contribute. I found that although neither Malmö nor Örebro have been victims of any terrorist attack in modern times, but it is difficult to determine what causes this. Both of my respondents testify that the school and social services have an important role to play to enhance young people's democratic values. In Malmö, the everyday work has come to revolve around the local support phone while Örebro built up a competence center working width. Both municipalities, however, have chosen to invest in education in relation to specific professions to work both with the immediate but also preventive.
