Samverkan mellan Socialtjänst och skolan gällande unga brottslingar

Sammanfattning: Children that are at risk for starting a criminal path in their adolescence is asocietal issue. It is the society’s responsibility to prevent juvenile delinquency.Social services are responsible to prevent this issue by providing support tochildren, to prohibit them from going down the wrong path. Social services needto collaborate with schools as it is the school’s duty to uncover who those kidsare. That is why it is very important for both parties to view this problem asequally serious, both professions are willing to cooperate and have a clearunderstanding of clues for kids that are within the risk zone. The aim of this studyis to analyse the different factors that encourage successful collaboration betweensocial services and schools. Based on this research two questions are left to beformulated; ‘’What risk factors can be recognized by the school staff and socialworkers in a timely manner that signals a child being in the risk zone?’’ and‘’what prerequisites are needed for a successful collaboration between socialservices and the school regarding juvenile delinquencies?’’ To achieve thepurpose of this study, I have chosen a systematic literature review as method. Thestudy consists of 13 objective peer reviewed articles, books that touch on thematter of the subject and reports written by the National board of health andwelfare. The material has been analyzed on the basis of the theory of discretionand social constructivism. This study’s findings are that a successful collaborationrequires good communication and clear accountability. Through this partnershipchildren will early on be provided with coordinated efforts but that would requirethe school staff to be mindful of signs such as change in behavior and poorperformance in school. These signals are and will be of to use by social workers
