The first of January 2021, the law (2020:616) on the enforcement of youth monitoring will enter into force. This sanction will essentially mean weekend home arrest. The aim of the study is to use preparatory work to investigate how the new youth sanction is motivated by a crime prevention perspective in the law (2020: 616) on the enforcement of youth monitoring. Furthermore, the aim is to analyze how the law (2020:616) on the enforcement of youth monitoring is in line with theories about crime prevention measures for young offenders. From the aim of the study, two questions have been developed which read as follows;  1. What is the Swedish state of knowledge about crime prevention measures for youth offenders? 2. How is the law (2020:616) on the enforcement of youth monitoring described as a crime prevention measure for youth offenders? To answer the first question, scientific articles and studies have been obtained. The second question is answered by connecting the previous state of knowledge, the theoretical starting point and the empirical material. The study’s empirical material is based on a qualitative content analysis of the preparatory 2019/20:118 which is the basis for the law (2020:616) on the enforcement of youth monitoring. The study's results shows that there are elements of crime prevention measures in the law (2020: 616) on the enforcement of youth monitoring, which is consistent with the study's previous state of knowledge and theoretical starting point.
