Ungdomsbrottslighet : Hur arbetar utvalda skolor från utvalda områden i Finland och Sverige förebyggande mot ungdomsbrottslighet?

Sammanfattning: Title: Juvenile delinquency “How selected schools from selected areas in Finland and Sweden work to prevent juvenile delinquency” The study is a qualitative study where I investigated how a selected municipality's schools in southern Sweden and an area's schools on a Finnish island work preventively against juvenile delinquency. Throughout the study, I will refer to it as an area to facilitate reading. The study only includes high schools and upper secondary schools. The empirical material for the study was collected through semi-structured interviews with six principals and a social educator. The results show large differences in how the schools view juvenile delinquency and what the schools have introduced for measures and what they would like to develop. The selected Swedish upper secondary schools have a program that will influence young people not to commit criminal acts, while the selected Finnish schools' focus is on an anti-bullying program. However, all interviewees considered that collaboration with other actors is important in preventing juvenile delinquency. They also emphasized the importance of having adults present for the students, as well as following the students' absence and study results.
