Detta är en uppsats som ämnar undersöka vilka arbetssätt och metoder som används av polisen i olika kommuner i Skåne för att förebygga brott mot äldre. Studien ämnar även att undersöka hur polisen arbetar med att sprida brottsförebyggande information till äldre. För att få svar på frågeställningarna används datainsamlingsmetoden enkät - online, som besvarats av kommunpoliser i Skåne. Resultatet visar på att Malmö-, Simrishamn-, Svedala-, Vellinge-, Lomma-, Svalöv-, och Skurup kommun är de som besvarat att deras främsta sätt att sprida information till äldre är genom föreläsningar, kampanjer samt informationsmöten. Svedala-, Sjöbo-, och Trelleborg kommun arbetar med att sprida kunskap och information till äldre genom vården med hjälp av samordnare eller chefer. Utöver dessa arbetssätt har Kävlinge-, Skurup-, Svalöv- och Svedala kommunsamarbeten med pensionärsorganisationer och tar hjälp av dem med att sprida information. Resultatet av vår enkätundersökning visar även på att mer än 50% av respondenterna inte känner till projektet ”Försök inte lura mig”. De kommuner som arbetar efter projektet är Landskrona, Sjöbo, Eslöv och Malmö. / is is an essay which intends to examine the methods and techniques used by the police in various municipalities in Skåne to prevent crimes against the elderly. The study also aims to investigate how the police work to spread crime prevention information to the elderly. To answer the questions, the data collection method that was used is online survey, answered by municipal police in Skåne. The result shows that Malmö-, Simrishamn-, Svedala-, Vellinge-, Lomma-, Svalöv and Skurup municipalities answer the question that their primary means of disseminating information to the elderly is through lectures, campaigns and information meetings. Svedala, Sjöbo, and Trelleborg municipality works to spread knowledge and information to the elderly through care using co-ordinators or managers. In addition to these practices, Kävlinge-, Skurup-, Svalöv- and Svedala municipalities work with retirement organizations and assist them in disseminating information. The result of our survey also shows that more than 50% of respondents do not know the project "Do not try to fool me". The municipalities that work after the project are Landskrona, Sjöbo, Eslöv and Malmö.

The aim of the study was to illustrate how evidence-based praxis is implemented in the police agencies activities with crime prevention work. We asked two questions: a) What actions does the Swedish Police authority take when implementing evidence-based praxis in its operations? and b) What opportunities contra difficulties do the managers, community police officers and teachers at the police institute see with evidence-based praxis? This was investigated through qualitative interviews in order to capture the participants personal opinions and experiences about the subject. Evidence-based policies are practiced through the crime-prevention work that takes place through local cooperations. The role of community police officers constitutes an important strategic role as being cosmopolitan, which ensures that communication between the police and society works, which in turn forms the basis for the crime-prevention work. The result also shows that the police cannot take care of law enforcement on their own initiative; responsibility also rests on individuals, groups and other organizations. We see patterns of a majorly positive attitude within the police, which contradicts previous research. There are not enough evidence-based methods within all working fields of the police, which has emerged as an important factor in order to implement evidence-based praxis. Whilst the police may be positive towards evidence-based methods, they can not solely rely on them. The resources are too lacking in order for the evidence-based praxis to also permeate the police authority's work. In order for the police authority's work to be carried out by evidence-based methods, community police officers need to have a higher status internally. They also need a mandate in the form of being able to make decisions about operative resources. The main contribution of the study´s is that evidence-based praxis needs to be strategically implemented, and the key people who work primarily with evidence-based praxis needs a higher status within the organization.
