Straff och/eller behandling : Professionellas upplevelse av Kriminalvårdens och socialtjänstens samverkan kring den nya påföljden ungdomsövervakning

Sammanfattning: In January 2021, the new law on youth supervision came into force. A law that enables courts to sentence youths between 15–20 years of age to electronic monitoring for violations of the law. The reason for the existence of the new law is to cover the gap between youth care and closed youth care on the punishment scale. In the past, the social service has overseen all interventions for young people aged 15–20, but the new law transfers responsibility to the Correctional Service for those who have been sentenced to youth supervision. From January 2021, the Social Services and the Correctional Service need to collaborate with young people for the first time. With the new leadership and the different logics of the businesses, we are interested in investigating whether the collaboration between them works. We have interviewed four people from Social Services and four people from the Correctional Service to find out the perception of their collaboration. The results show that there are many factors that facilitate collaboration between them, factors that they worked on even before the first case was active.
