Brottspreventiva satsningar i Staffanstorp med användning av märk-DNA där projektet namngavs ”Staffanstorpsmodellen” genomfördes från oktober 2015 till september 2016 för att uppfylla sitt medborgarlöfte att bekämpa inbrotten i kommunen. Utvärdering av detta projekt utfördes 2017 där en paradox belystes, inbrottsstatistiken hade minskat drastiskt medan den senaste trygghatsmätningen påvisade en ökad otrygghet för att bli utsatt för inbrott. Denna studie är skriven på uppdrag av UC Syd för att undersöka en faktor som kan medfört detta resultat. Genom analys av tidningsartiklar kring hur dessa rapporterat kring inbrott och med utgång i tidigare forskning kring medias inflytande på upplevd otrygghet och rädsla, avser studien att se om framförandet på något sätt kunnat bidra till en ökad känsla av otrygghet för att bli utsatt för inbrott. Resultaten påvisar en genomgående objektivt framförande i tidningsartiklarna och därmed drogs slutsatsen att dessa inte varit en bidragande faktor. / Crime prevention initiatives in Staffanstorp using the method of DNA-marking where the project went by the name of “Staffanstorpsmodellen” was carried out from October 2015 to September 2016 in order to fulfill their citizen’s promise to fight the burglary in the city. Evaluation of this project was carried out 2017 in which a paradox was discovered, the burglary rates had drastically reduced while the latest security assessment of the residents showed an increased level of fear of being subjected to burglary. This study is written on behalf of UC Syd to investigate a factor which could lead to this increase. By analyzing newspaper articles on the topic of and how they reported burglary and comparing this to previous research of the media's influence on perceived insecurity and fear, the study intends to see if the performance could in any way contribute to an increased sense of insecurity for being subjected to burglary. The result shows a consistent objective presentation in the newspaper articles, thus concluding that these have not been a contributing factor.

This thesis aimed to describe what (planning for) data centers reveal about the power relations between big tech companies and Sweden’s municipalities and national government. Data centers owned by large IT companies serve global interests but are dependent on and have an impact on local infrastructures, as demonstrated by for instance the large amount of energy they require. A Microsoft data center in Staffanstorp, located in Skåne, served as a case study. Based on various types of documents, the study analyzed what this hyperscale data center uncovers about the influence of big tech on urban planning in Sweden. For this, theoretical concepts such as cloud infrastructures, the hidden materiality of the cloud, and clouding have been used. The thesis explored the motivations behind choosing Staffanstorp to establish a hyperscale data center. Sweden is an attractive data center location for big tech companies. The image corporations have of Sweden is an important contributing factor here, as it is not just factual characteristics of a location that determine its attractiveness, but first and foremost how that location is perceived. The analysis therefore also highlights the promotional strategies that the government and the municipality of Staffanstorp have employed to attract data centers, in which Business Sweden appeared to have played a key role. Among other significant factors that contribute to big tech’s interest in Sweden are cheap renewable energy, a 98% electricity tax reduction, and a business-friendly environment. Processes behind the planning of Microsoft’s data center in Staffanstorp have also been studied by looking at the developments in the implementation of the data center. Reflecting on the outcomes of Microsoft’s data center by comparing these developments to plans and visions for Sweden and Staffanstorp shows that the promise of jobs for a data center location is paradoxical and that hyperscale data centers potentially endanger the energy supply. The research concludes that rather than corporations directly influencing Swedish planning, Sweden indirectly allows them to have a large influence.
