This dissertation seeks to understand how culture of silence effect the Swedish suburb and it's undermining effects. By interviewing people that work within different organisations in the suburb, we strive to pursue a deeper understanding on how they are affected by the culture of silence in their daily work. In comparison to the different areas, the Swedish suburb are faced with socioeconomic differences, high crime rate, as well as high unemployment. These and others factors that we are going to present shows that culture of silence consciously and/or unconsciously effects the Swedish suburb society. When we initially started this bachelor thesis, we found a limited research about culture of silence and its social effects on the society. Therefore, we seek to contribute to wider knowledge within the academic field of culture of silence. The study is based on a qualitative research method in which eight chosen interviews conducted among social workers, teachers, and police officers, all whom work preventatively. Additionally, we tried to understand if culture of silence was experienced within their organisation. Furthermore, the theoretical framework for this dissertation comprise of symbolic interaction, role theory, and labeling theory. Culture of silence is believed to have an unfavorable effect on the society, as the result of the study shows that it interrupts the interviewees daily work. But also that culture of silence exist within organisations and the suburb.
