Previous research has shown that juvenile delinquency is a major social problem today. It is a problem that can ruin and jeopardize the youth and their future. Instead of studying, they commit criminal acts and ruin their lives and potentially their families lives as well. Therefore prevention is a very important part of preventing young children from committing criminal acts. This work deals with social workers' perspectives on juvenile delinquency. What risk and protective factors there are and how they experience the social services' efforts against juvenile delinquency. Are the interventions effective? or counterproductive? The method for this work is qualitative and consists of six interviews with six different social workers from different organizations. It is interesting to find out the perspective of social workers on this problem. Because you often hear politicians' and criminologists' perspectives on this, but rarely social workers' perspectives. The theory that we applied to this work is the labeling theory as it focuses on the individual. The results of this study showed that a good attachment to the parents, a good schooling and a leisure time with adult supervision are very important protective factors against juvenile delinquency. Having an adult in your surroundings that the young people look up to is a great protective factor. The risk factors turned out to be that the adolescent does not have a good relationship with the parents or that there is a bad environment at home. Poor schooling and leisure time without adult supervision showed that young people are at risk at this stage. To solve this problem in the best possible way, collaboration with several actors in society is the best solution as juvenile delinquency is a complex phenomenon.

Den här uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie som undersöker vilka faktorer som är hindrande respektive drivande hos personer som väljer ett yrke som går mot könsstereotypen. I studien intervjuas 2 män som valt att utbilda sig till socionomer och 4 kvinnor som valt att utbilda sig till ingenjörer. Dessa yrken har valts eftersom det finns en tydlig dominans av ett kön inom dessa yrken. Intervjuerna har varit semistrukturerade och har analyserats tematiskt. De teman som har framkommit är sammanhang, karriär, arbetsmiljö, meningsfullt, hinder och själv förmåga. Gemensamma drivande faktorer för båda yrkesgrupperna är ett stort eget intresse och ett stöd från omgivningen. Hindrade faktorer är att könsstereotypen inte stämmer överens för de attityder som förknippas med yrket samt att omgivningen kan uttrycka oförståelse inför yrkesvalet. Studien visar att förutsättningarna för kvinnor inom ingenjörsyrket har ändrats mer än för männen inom socionomyrket gällande könsfördelning och attityder på arbetsmarknaden. / This essay is a qualitative study that examines the factors that are hindering and driving in people who choose a profession that goes against the gender stereotype. In the study, 2 men who have chosen to train as social workers and 4 women who have chosen to train as engineers are interviewed. These professions have been chosen because there is a clear dominance of one gender in these professions. The interviews have been semi-structured, and the interviews have been analyzed thematically. The themes that have emerged are context, career, work environment, meaningful, obstacles and self-efficacy. Common driving factors for both professions are a great deal of self-interest and support from the environment. Hindered factors are that the gender stereotype does not match the attitudes associated with the profession and that the environment may express incomprehension before the choice of profession.  The study shows that the conditions for women in the engineering profession have changed more than for men in the social work profession regarding gender distribution and attitudes in the labor market.

Based on information from the interviews conducted in this thesis social workers have been exposed from verbal threats to physical violence.

Youth crime is a topic that has taken place in the media and has engaged politicians as well as researchers. This is a problematic phenomenon that can contribute to various social problems in the future by affecting youth and society. Since youth crime can lead to various social problems, it is important to examine and highlight the problem, how it can lead to various social problems, but also how society can prevent these social problems. The purpose of this study is to create a deeper understanding of how social workers imagine and frame crime among young people and how they work preventively in their practical work. Based on the collected empirical evidence and previous research, we can draw conclusions that juvenile delinquency is very complex and there is no clear explanation about that subject. We have collected empirical evidence through eight semi-structured interviews where the respondents were selected with conscious selection.The results show that the social worker's individual beliefs about risk identification depend on academic discipline, experiences, collaboration and further education. However, the respondents specify that family and dysfunctional schooling is central. The results show that the material we have collected from the respondents is consistent with previous research and theories about juvenile delinquency.

This studies aim was to understand and analyze how social workers in family law constructs risk assessments. Furthermore the study aimed to describe social workers in family laws perspective on the construction of risk assessment. To achieve the goals of this study qualitative interviews was used. In total six social workers was interviewed which all worked with family law in social services. To understand how the social workers constructed the risk assessments a theory from social constructivism was used, namely the institutional theory by Berger and Luckmann. The results show that the procedure of how the risk assessment was similarly executed, the social workers gathered information and then they weighted the information. Though there was a difference in how they gathered the information and how they weighted the information. The main discovery of this study is however that according to the informants the construction of a risk assessment is influenced by seven factors, and these factors could be located on three levels from individual to workplace and to the law and Socialstyrelse. Depending on which level the factor was located it made a difference on how the factor was incorporated to the construction of the risk assessment.
