Creating Conditions for Cross-Sector Crime Prevention Collaboration

Important results from the project

Samäga [the project] has explored what hinders and enables cross-sectoral collaboration, with a focus on business and the public sector. The project has brought together actors committed to reducing the recruitment of young people into crime to explore what needs to be renewed. Insights range from working more locally, decentralized, relationally and with systematic learning between different contexts and levels in the system, and coming together around community building more than just crime prevention.

Expected long term effects

We hope that Samäga will lead to a deeper understanding of the factors that enable or hinder preventive work with at-risk youth. The relationships formed during the project are intended to support continued exploration, deepening, and co-ownership of these efforts. Finally, we aim for our insights to inform policy actors, helping them better guide and lead policy processes in a rapidly changing world characterized by complex interdependencies.

Approach and implementation

We have carried out three workshops with actors from different sectors, all with the purpose of jointly exploring what hinders and enables cross-sector collaboration. Stakeholders had a particular interest in youth crime and in reducing the recruitment of young people into criminality. In parallel with the external workshops, the project group with researchers, civil servants and Förnyelselabbet has met to analyze the findings and to articulate what should be further explored.
