Kandidat-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Institutionen för kriminologi (KR)Sammanfattning : Det finns en brist på orosanmälningar av brottsoffer som befinner sig i riskfyllda omständigheter, det är dock viktigt att det trots allt sker orosanmälningar även på brottsoffer för att socialtjänsten ska få en underrättelse över situationen och försöka lokalisera adekvata åtgärder och minimera ungdomars utsatthet.

5. "They're coming for our games" : A study of far-right social mobilization in the gaming community

This thesis focuses on the idea that the controversy in question helped mobilize these games into an online social movement that aimed to “take back our games” from the perceived outside threats of feminism and political correctness, and how they through that process became an easy target for assimilation within large far-right and white supremacist movements.
