Nevertheless, much ofthe preventive work today is devoted to intervening in individuals with obvious and numerousrisk factors. The study was carried out in an outpatient care company called Hassela Skåne,the company takes care of exposed high-risk children and youth people who have a highprobability of falling into crime or becoming victims of crime. The purpose of the studies wasto map Hassela Skåne's data to see what differences there are between their child/youthintervention and family intervention regarding risk factors and goal fulfillment, in order tofind possible development paths to a favorable intervention. The material used includes anumber of different static risk factors from the outpatient care company Hassela's database,linked to the individuals who are/are being treated at Hassela. The result showed that therewere no differences between different types of intervention, neither in terms of risk factorsnor goal achievement, but the result is very likely to be influenced by the majority ofbackground factors. Continued research on evaluations within outpatient care in Sweden isrequested, in order to build on favorable interventions that can reduce child and youthdelinquency.
