Sammanfattning: This study has conducted eight semi-structured interviews and a thematic analysis to investigate how collective efficacy affects trust in the police, the justice system, and the location of Södertälje, as well as how this, in turn, influences residents' experiences of safety and insecurity. The research design was qualitative and inductive, and the theory of collective efficacy was applied to explain the respondents' experiences. The results showed a high level of fear of crime and a lack of trust in the area due to the high level of crime in the surrounding areas of Södertälje. Lack of trust in the police and the justice system was also one of the most important factors that affected respondents' experiences of safety and fear of crime.
