Objectives: Poor knowledge of eye health, concerns about the cost of spectacles, mistrust of optometrists and limited geographical access in socio-economically deprived areas are barriers to accessing regular eye examinations and result in low uptake and subsequent late presentation to ophthalmology clinics. Personal Medical Services (PMS) were introduced in the late 1990s to provide locally negotiated solutions to problems associated with inequalities in access to primary care. An equivalent approach to delivery of optometric services could address inequalities in the uptake of eye examinations. Study design: One-way and multiway sensitivity analyses. Methods: Variations in assumptions were included in the models for equipment and accommodation costs, uptake and length of appointments. The sensitivity analyses thresholds were cost-per-person tested below the GOS1 fee paid by the NHS and achieving break-even between income and expenditure, assuming no cross-subsidy from profits from sales of optical appliances. Results: Cost per test ranged from £24.01 to £64.80 and subsidy required varied from £14,490 to £108,046. Unused capacity utilised for local enhanced service schemes such as glaucoma referral refinement reduced the subsidy needed. Conclusions: In order to support the financial viability of primary eye care in socio-economically deprived communities, income is required from additional subsidies or from sources other than eye examinations, such as ophthalmic or other optometric community services. This would require a significant shift of activity from secondary to primary care locations. The subsidy required could also be justified by the utility gain from earlier detection of preventable sight loss. / Yorkshire Eye Research, NHS Leeds and RNIB

Yes / Evidence for early intervention and prevention-based approaches for im-proving social and emotional health in young children is robust. However, rates of participation in programmes are low. We explored the dynamics which affect levels of community readiness to address the issues of social and emotional health for preg-nant women, young children (0-4 years) and their mothers.Setting:A deprived inner‐city housing estate in the north of England. The estate falls within the catchment area of a project that has been awarded long-term funding to address social and emotional health during pregnancy and early childhood.Methods:We interviewed key respondents using the Community Readiness Model. This approach applies a mixed methodology, incorporating readiness scores and qualitative data. A mean community readiness score was calculated enabling the placement of the community in one of nine possible stages of readiness. Interview transcripts were analysed using a qualitative framework approach to generate con-textual information to augment the numerical scores.Results:An overall score consistent with vague awareness was achieved, indicating a low level of community readiness for social and emotional health interventions. This score suggests that there will be a low likelihood of participation in programmes that address these issues.Conclusion:Gauging community readiness offers a way of predicting how willing and prepared a community is to address an issue. Modifying implementation plans so that they first address community readiness may improve participation rates. / Better Start Bradford

Yes / British South Asians have a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than the wider population. Bradford (UK), with its high Pakistani presence and levels of economic deprivation, has exceptionally high instances, especially in deprived areas where many Pakistanis reside. British Pakistani women in Bradford are more likely to be overweight and obese. There is uncertainty on how these women can be aided to manage their weight. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the obesity concerns of Pakistani women living in deprived inner-city areas of Bradford. Three focus groups interviews were carried out with 23 Pakistani women living in deprived areas of Bradford. Data were analysed thematically. This exploratory study identified a wide range of concerns that women had around managing their weight. Participants disclosed distrust in information given around medication, conflicting dietary information and reported low levels of trust in women-only organized physical activities. Cultural barriers were identified, which included the gender role of the woman, the lack of culturally appropriate dietary advice, cultural misunderstandings of what constitutes a healthy diet and healthy weight, the lack of culturally suitable exercise facilities and conforming to family and community expectations. Other concerns were language barriers around a lack of understanding, the inability to read Urdu and reliance on others to translate information. These findings have implications for researchers, local authorities, policy makers and others with an interest in reducing the rates of obesity in this population. Recommendations include training health practitioners to be culturally aware of the diet and eating practices of this community, exploring different ways to support socially isolated women to be more physically active at home, addressing physical activity and diet misconceptions and designing obesity management information materials appropriate for a range of literacy levels. Public contributors were involved in the development of the interview guide and design of the research. A pilot focus group with participants not included in the present paper was used to help test and refine the focus group questions. Interview transcripts were member checked by participants, and participants assisted with data analysis. / UKPRP. Grant Number: MR/S037527/1 NIHR. Grant Number: NIHR200166

Yes / British Pakistani women have exceptionally high rates of obesity and yet are seldom heard in a research priority setting concerning weight management. The objectives of this study were (i) to ascertain what multisectoral professionals perceive to be the most pressing unmet obesity needs or topic areas that need more research in relation to Pakistani women living in deprived areas of Bradford and (ii) to determine the top 10 obesity health priorities for this group to develop an obesity research agenda. Methods: A two‐step process was adopted using the following: (i) a survey of a wide range of multisectoral professional stakeholders (n= 159) and (ii) a ranking exercise involving Pakistani women living in deprived areas of Bradford (n= 32) to select and prioritize their top 10 obesity health concerns and unmet needs from a list of 31statements identified in the survey and previous research. Survey data were analysed using inductive content analysis and themes were identified. Themes were translated into statements to be ranked by Pakistani women. The ranking exercise was conducted by telephone either via voice or video call. Data were analysed using a reverse scoring system. Results: Survey responses were grouped into statements reflecting the following three categories: education needs; healthy behaviour barriers and mental well‐being. The highest rankings were given by Pakistani women to statements on mental health and the need for education. The top 10 prioritized statements were developed with members of the public into an obesity research agenda that reflected the target population. Conclusion: Actively engaging British Pakistani women in setting research priorities provided a unique opportunity to understand the key areas they think are important for future research. The culminating research agenda can be used by researchers to advance the field of obesity research in Pakistani communities, thus producing research outputs that are relevant to and have impact in this population. Patient or Public Contribution: Participants in the ranking exercise collected data. Public contributors were involved in developing the prioritized statements into are search agenda. / NIHR, Grant/Award Number: NIHR200166;UKPRP, Grant/Award Number:MR/S037527/1

La thèse s'intéresse à la prise en compte de l'individu dans les politiques locales du logement des personnes défavorisées, issues de la loi Besson de 1990. A partir de l'étude de quatre départements, par l'observation de commissions d'attribution des aides, elle approfondit la notion de magistrature sociale, en y intégrant les notions de situation, représentation administrative des demandeurs, de problématiques, catégories publiques de perception des problèmes de l'individu, et de mise en récit mettant en cohérence ces éléments. Ces observations mettent en lumière des tensions entre des normes, informelles, et des règles, formelles, dans l'attribution des aides et la forme du travail des commissions. Elles sont le reflet d'un antagonisme plus profond entre un principe d'individualisation des aides et un principe d'équivalence qui veut que des situations semblables soient traitées de manière semblable. Ces politiques du logement des personnes défavorisées peuvent être vues comme proches des politiques d'insertion, s'insérant dans un même paradigme d'action publique. Elles portent certaines visions de l'individu, un « individualisme institutionnel ». Cette individualisme est marqué par le modèle de l'individu autonome et responsable. Les recherches menées permettent de dégager trois modes de prise en compte des individus défaillants par rapport à ce modèle : les victimes - de contraintes extérieures -, les coupables-responsables - en raison de leurs actes - et les incapables - dont certaines compétences sont altérées. La question de la bonne foi, posée dans le cadre de la prévention des expulsions locatives, vise alors à départager des situations indécises entre les figures de victime et de coupable-responsable / This is a study about how the French local policies for deprived people housing take in account the individual. It is based on the observation of four French local authorities and their grantsallocating commissions. It specifies the notion of social magistracy, explaining on what they work : the situations, which are the administrative representation of the applicants, the problematics, which are the public frames to take in account individual's problems and the story-setting that build a coherence among these different elements. These observations show the tensions between informal norms and formal rules in the allocating process and in the work of the commission itself. These tensions are bound to a deeper antagonism between the principle of individualising the assistance and the equivalence principle, for which similar situations should have similar treatment. These housing policies can be included in the same policy paradigm as the integration policies. They hold specific views of the individual, an institutional individualism. This kind of individualism is influenced by the pattern of the autonomous and responsible individual. This research shows three ways of dealing with defaulting individuals : they can be victim - of external constraints –, guilty-responsible – of their acts – or incapable, lacking some competencies. Thus the good faith criteria, on which the eviction procedure particularly emphasizes can be seen as a way of sorting out uncertain situations between victims and guilty-responsible individuals

To do that we will study the Paraná State Department of Corrections Guidebook (DEPEND): Practices and Technical Guidance from Health Professionals in the Paraná State Correction Facilities (2011a); Correctional Treatment Practices in the Paraná State Correctional Facilities (2011b); Managing Practices and Administrative Procedures in the Paraná State Correctional Facilities (2011c); and Safety Practices in the Paraná State Correctional Facilities (2011d). Our general goal is to apprehend, through international, national and DEPEN (2011) guidebook rules, the guidance concerning Health and Education service offer for Paraná state Freedom Deprived Population. The research problem is: what are the guidance policies regarding Health and Education service offer for Paraná state Freedom Deprived Population in DEPEN (2011) guidebook, taking into account international and national ruling systems? We tried to solve the aforementioned problem through Documentary Research by discussing concepts that regard Health and Education service offer for Freedom Deprived Populations according to international and national ruling systems as well as DEPEN (2011) four guidebooks. Through this research results we could understand, under international and national ruling systems and DEPEN (2011) guidebooks, that the guidance regarding Health and Education services offer for Paraná state Freedom Deprived Population, as well as other Social Policies, work in order to maintain consensus and perpetuate capitalist supremacy and accumulation, besides its needing for answering to socially vulnerable groups. Therefore, Health and Education policies for Freedom Deprived Populations are focused policies, with non-global nature. They are aligned with International Organization determinations, lead by the USA, and emphasize poverty managment. DEPEN (2011) guidebooks point out to the reintegration statement for Freedom Deprived Populations through Assistance practices such as Health and Education Assistance. Paraná state law, regarding that, state Health, Education and the reintegration statement as fundamental human rights for the freedom deprived population, which does not withdraws its repressive nature. / Esta dissertação tem como objeto de análise as Políticas de Educação e Saúde às Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade no estado do Paraná, por meio dos Cadernos do Departamento Penitenciário do Estado do Paraná (DEPEN): Práticas e Orientações Técnicas da Área da Saúde nas Unidades Penais do Paraná (2011a); Práticas de Tratamento Penal nas Unidades Penais do Paraná (2011b); Práticas de Gestão e Procedimentos Administrativos nas Unidades Penais do Paraná (2011c); e Práticas de Segurança nas Unidades Penais do Paraná (2011d). O objetivo geral é apreender nas normativas internacionais, nacionais e nos Cadernos do DEPEN as orientações relativas à oferta dos serviços de Educação e Saúde às Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade no Estado do Paraná. O problema de pesquisa é: Quais as orientações relativas a oferta dos serviços de Educação e Saúde às Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade prescritas nos Cadernos do DEPEN (2011), considerando as normativas internacionais e nacionais? Com a Pesquisa Documental buscou-se responder ao problema proposto por meio da interlocução com os conceitos relativos à oferta dos serviços de Educação e Saúde às Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade nas normativas internacionais, legislações nacionais e nos quatro Cadernos do DEPEN (2011). As análises empreendidas, neste estudo, permitiram apreender nas normativas internacionais, nacionais e nos Cadernos DEPEN (2011) que as orientações relativas à oferta dos Serviços de Educação e Saúde às Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade no Estado do Paraná, tal como as demais Políticas Sociais, atuam no sentido de manutenção dos consensos e perpetuação da acumulação e da hegemonia capitalista, e sua necessidade de dar resposta aos grupos socialmente vulneráveis. Desse modo, as Políticas de Educação e Saúde às Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade constituem-se, portanto, de políticas focalizadas, de caráter não universal, demonstrando-se alinhadas às determinações dos Organismos Internacionais, liderados pelos EUA e com ênfase na administração da pobreza. Os Cadernos do DEPEN (2011), desse modo, sustentam o enunciado ressocializador às Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade por meio das Assistências, dentre elas, as Assistências em Educação e Saúde. As legislações do estado do Paraná, nessa direção, delimitam como direitos humanos fundamentais às Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade à Educação e à Saúde e o enunciado ressocializador, não desvelando, todavia, o seu caráter repressivo.

Cette thèse de sociologie vise à étudier les dynamiques des relations entre les filles et les garçons – descendants d'immigrés – résidant au sein de deux quartiers populaires, français et allemand, dans lesquels des politiques publiques spécifiques sont mises en place : la politique de la ville en France, la Soziale Stadt en Allemagne. L'originalité de ce travail vient du fait que les relations entre les sexes sont analysées sous l'angle de la tension entre solidarité et concurrence. L'analyse, développée à partir d'entretiens biographiques et d'une ethnographie multisituée, souligne les effets des stratégies éducatives des parents, des expériences scolaires et professionnelles des enfants, ainsi que de leur engagement dans des « pôles normatifs » plus ou moins égalitaires au sein de leur quartier sur les dynamiques de solidarité et de concurrence entre les sexes. La solidarité entre les sexes apparaît comme une ressource mobilisable, pour les filles et pour les garçons, dans le cadre du passage à l'âge adulte. Elle permet notamment de faire face à différentes formes de domination. La solidarité ne va cependant pas de soi. Elle apparaît et disparaît, doit être négociée et re-négociée, change de forme en fonction des contextes et des interactions. Il s'agit de ce que j'appelle une solidarité en tension. / This PhD thesis aims at studying the dynamics of the relationships between boys and girls – descendants of migrants – living in two deprived neighborhoods, in France and Germany, in which specific public policies have been implemented: the “politique de la ville” in France, and the “Soziale Stadt” in Germany. The originality of this research resides in the fact that gender relations are analyzed considering a tension between solidarity and competition. The analysis, based on life stories and on a multi-sited ethnography, underlines the effects of the educational strategies of the parents, of the school and work experiences of the children, as well as of their involvement in more or less gender egalitarian “normative poles” in their neighborhood, on the dynamics of solidarity and competition. Solidarity between boys and girls seems to be a useful resource during the transition into adulthood. It is especially used in order fight different kinds of domination. Solidarity is not fixed, but dynamic. It appears and disappears, must be negociated and re-negociated, changes its form depending of the contexts and interactions. It is what I call a solidarité en tension.

The first study consists of a survey of national scientific papers published from December 2005 to May 2013 on education in prison services. This research used bibliographic materials collected from three databases: Journals of Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination (CAPES), Virtual Health Library in Psychology (BVS-Psi Brazil) and Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD Brazil). Twenty-one papers met the search criteria and were selected for this study: twelve articles, seven Master’s and two Doctoral Dissertations. The selected production revealed that the most recurrent themes on education in the prison context are the educational practices employed, the reasons that make prisoners want to study, the history and the regulation of education in prison services. The second study in this research analyzed the Positive and Negative Affection dimension, as well as the level of Optimism and Pessimism among the freedom-deprived students of a Parana State Penitentiary, in Brazil. Such investigation aimed to measure the level of subjective well-being of 50 freedom-deprived students. The objective was to select the participants for the third study, as the following question pervaded the study: do men with higher scores of negative affection and the more pessimistic ones describe their schooling trajectories as less meaningful? The study used the Zanon Positive-Negative Affect scale and the LOT-R scale (Life Orientation Test) which evaluates optimism. Descriptive statistics revealed that the participants had higher scores on Positive Affection factors (M = 42.6) and Optimism factors (M = 27.05) and lower scores on Negative Affection factors (M = 14.22) and Pessimism factors (M = 5, 76). The third study aimed to identify what the freedom-deprived student thinks about education in prison, as well as verify the possible relation with subjective well-being. Therefore, according to the results obtained in the second study, eight men were selected to participate, chosen as follows: four men who obtained high scores of optimism and positive affection and four men who obtained high scores of negative affection and pessimism. A semi-structured interview was conducted to collect data. The findings indicated that there were no differences in the responses of the participants with the highest scores of positive affection and optimism when compared to those who obtained the highest scores in negative affection and pessimism. Both groups of participants refer to school as a formative and welcoming environment, which offers resources that enable them to return to society. The participants talk about freedom of expression, respect, good relationships with teachers, setting goals and dreams. The school seems to have a strengthening role in the increase of well-being. This study intends to collaborate with the creation of educational strategies that prepare and promote awareness of freedom-deprived students concerning the importance of education in life and for their return to society. Future studies are advised to shed light on the construction of theories that support the organization of an effective education in the prison context. / Esta dissertação está composta de três estudos que investigaram a importância atribuída pelo aluno privado de liberdade à educação recebida no cárcere e as possíveis associações de tais concepções com o bem-estar subjetivo. O primeiro estudo consiste em um levantamento de trabalhos científicos nacionais da última década, publicados entre dezembro de 2005 e maio e de 2013, sobre a educação escolar no sistema prisional. O desenvolvimento da pesquisa deu-se a partir da coleta de materiais bibliográficos, tendo sido utilizado, para tanto, as bases de dados Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde Psicologia (BVS-Psi) e Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). No total, foram recuperados vinte e um trabalhos que atenderam aos critérios de busca, sendo: doze artigos, sete dissertações e duas teses. O conteúdo da produção analisada possibilitou identificar que entre as temáticas mais recorrentes sobre a educação no contexto prisional, encontram-se as práticas educativas desenvolvidas, os motivos que levam os presos a desejarem estudar, o histórico e a regulamentação do ensino nas prisões. No segundo estudo foi analisado o nível de Afetos Positivos e Negativos, bem como de Otimismo e Pessimismo dos estudantes privados de liberdade de uma penitenciária do Estado do Paraná. Com a realização dessa investigação, buscou-se medir o nível de bem-estar subjetivo de 50 educandos privados de liberdade, com a finalidade de selecionar os participantes para o estudo três, pois tinha-se como indagação o seguinte ponto: se homens com maiores pontuações de afetos negativos e mais pessimistas descreveriam suas trajetórias de escolarização com menos significação. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizadas as escalas Zanon de Afetos Positivos e Negativos e a escala LOT-R (Life Orientation Test), que avalia otimismo. As estatísticas descritivas apontaram que os participantes obtiveram maiores pontuações nos fatores Afetos Positivos (M=42,6) e Otimismo (M=27,05) e menores pontuações em Afetos Negativos (M=14,22) e Pessimismo (M=5,76). O terceiro estudo teve como objetivo conhecer o que o aluno privado de liberdade pensa a respeito da educação no cárcere e também verificar as possíveis associações com o bem-estar subjetivo. Para tanto, foram participantes do estudo oito homens selecionados a partir dos resultados do estudo dois, ou seja, quatro homens que obtiveram alta pontuação em otimismos e afetos positivos e quatro homens que obtiveram alta pontuação em afetos negativos e pessimismo. Como instrumento de coleta de dados foi utilizada uma entrevista semiestruturada. Sendo assim, os dados possibilitaram concluir que não foram identificadas diferenças nas respostas dos participantes com maior escore de afetos positivos e otimismo em relação aos que obtiveram maior escore em afetos negativos e pessimismo. Os dois grupos de participantes referem-se à escola como um espaço formativo, acolhedor e possibilitador de recursos para retornar para a sociedade. Esses alunos falam de liberdade de expressão, de respeito, de vínculos com os docentes, de estabelecimento de metas e de sonhos. A escola parece ter uma função potencializadora de bem-estar. Espera-se que o estudo colabore para a criação de estratégias educativas que possam favorecer a sensibilização e a preparação de alunos privados de liberdade quanto à importância da educação na vida e no retorno à sociedade. Novas investigações são recomendadas a fim de que se possam construir bases teóricas que subsidiem uma organização escolar efetiva no contexto prisional.

Cette étude porte sur l’analyse des impacts sociaux de la Coupe du monde de football FIFA 2014 au Brésil, pays émergent, spécifiquement dans quatre villes d’accueil : Manaus, Recife, Rio de Janeiro et Belo Horizonte. La démarche, s’appuyant sur les principes de la recherche qualitative, cherche à comprendre les processus de décision des organisateurs de l’événement – tant au niveau national que local – et la mise en place des politiques publiques liées aux groupes sociaux défavorisés du pays. Il s’agit d’analyser à la fois l’importance donnée par les responsables aux questions socio-économiques et le rôle joué par les habitants dans l’accueil de l’événement.Le corpus rassemble 63 entretiens [50 acteurs interviewés], 48 séquences d’observation, 87 photographies et des documents publiés [dossiers officiels, articles de journaux, sites officiels, rapports administratifs]. La recherche de terrain a été réalisée entre les années 2013 et 2015 de sorte à observer la préparation de l’événement et les impacts à moyen terme.En analysant les politiques publiques adoptées, la recherche a montré un manque de dialogue entre les organisateurs et la population locale, notamment les groupes sociaux défavorisés, en ce qui concerne les processus de décision et les héritages réels à court et à moyen termes. En général, les responsables ont mis en valeur les aspects tangibles – travaux urbains et nouvelles arènes – au détriment des changements socio-sportifs majeurs. En revanche, les habitants locaux ont joué un rôle crucial dans la réussite de la Coupe du monde au travers de leur accueil des visiteurs et de leur manière singulière de fêter le football. En outre, compte tenu des manifestations survenues en 2013 et 2014, un nouveau mouvement d’opposition aux grands événements sportifs a vu le jour mettant à l’épreuve les aspects économiques soulignés par les institutions organisatrices. / This research focuses on the analysis of social impacts related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, an emerging country, specifically in four host cities : Manaus, Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. This approach, based on the principles of qualitative research, seeks to understand the decision process of event organizers – on local and international levels – and the implementation of public policies targeting disadvantaged social groups in the country. This research aims to analyze both the level of consideration given to social issues by the event’s organizing committee; as well as the role played by the host cities’ residents in the reception of visitors.The corpus brings together 63 interviews [50 actors interviewed], 48 observation grids, 87 photographs and published documents [official records, newspapers articles, official websites, business reports]. Field research was carried out between 2013 and 2015 in order to observe the preparation of the event and the medium-term impacts.By analysing public policies, the research showed a lack of dialogue between the organizers and the local population, especially the deprived social groups, regarding the decision process and the real legacies in the short and medium terms. In general, officials have highlighted the tangibles aspects – urban projects and new arenas – at the expense of major social and sporting changes. Conversely, local residents have played a crucial role in the success of the 2014 World Cup through their visitor reception and unique way of celebrating football. Furthermore, given the events that occurred in 2013 and 2014, a new opposition movement against mega sport events was established - challenging the economic aspects highlighted by the organizing institutions.

The aim of this study is to explore how high schools as organizations in deprived areas in Gothenburg experience difficulties in the work with juvenile delinquency and analyze how the schools work in preventive purposes. In a certain aspect there are various ways to perceive juvenile delinquency. With the help of theoretical frameworks in the likes of Pierre Bourdieu's design of capitalforms, segregation, and Thomas Scheff's development of social bonds, we could behold how and explain the roots of juvenile crime, and what barriers the schools involved encounter in their work. On this basis we continued to build our chapter of method, where we applied different methodological tools, including a research study containing eight semi-structured interviews involving school faculty. Amongst this we also designed an interview guide with the aim to interview two different high schools in two deprived areas. Our empirical data was composed of prior studies, articles, theories, textbooks and the answers we received from the respondents. The result of the study indicates that the schools are experiencing hardships in their daily work of juvenile delinquency, and the issues are plenty but the analysis leads to a segregated city with inadequacy of commitments, tenuous collaboration and finite resources. / Intentionen med studien är att utforska hur skolan agerar som organisation för att förebyggabrott bland unga i utsatta områden i Göteborg stad, samt analysera om skolorna uppleversvårigheter i anslutning till det brottsförebyggande arbetet. Det finns olika sätt att se påungdomsbrottslighet och med hjälp av teoretiska ramverk som Bourdieus kapitalformer,segregation och Thomas Scheffs utveckling av sociala band, kunde vi upptäcka ochtydliggöra vad som ligger i grund till att unga begår brott och vilka förhinder skolorna i deutsatta områdena påträffar. Utifrån detta konstruerade vi vårt metodkapitel där vi använde ossav olika metodologiska verktyg, b.la. en kvalitativ forskningsstudie med åttasemistrukturerade intervjuer som involverade skolpersonal. Däribland utformade vi enintervjuguide för att intervjua två olika högstadieskolor i Göteborgs utsatta områden till vårstudie. Empiriinsamlingen bestod av tidigare forskning, artiklar, teorier, kurslitteratur ochresponsen från intervjupersonerna. Slutresultatet av studien visade att skolorna uppleverständiga svårigheter i det brottsförebyggande arbetet och att problemen är flera men alltutmynnar sig i en segregerad stad med otillräckliga satsningar, tunn samverkan ochbegränsade resurser.
