"Man drar åt samma håll" : En kvalitativ studie om samverkan kring prostitution i en mellanstor svensk kommun

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to increase insight into the collaboration of different organisations that work against prostitution in a Swedish municipality. With this purpose as a basis, four research questions were formulated: How do different organisations working against prostitution in the municipality collaborate? Which factors promote collaboration between these organisations? Which factors inhibit collaboration between these organisations? What areas of improvement exist in regards to collaboration? The analysis is qualitative and based on semi-structured interviews with six organisations that work against prostitution in different ways. The interviewed organisations include government-controlled organisations as well as non-governmental organisations. In this study, the empirical data has been analysed with a deductive approach based on a set of themes. These themes are formed with the purpose and issue of this study in mind. The themes are “how different organisations in the municipality describe the collaborative work”, “factors promoting collaboration”, “factors inhibiting collaboration” and “areas of improvement”. Key words: collaboration, prostitution, promoting factors, inhibiting factors, areas of improvement
