This paper has aimed to investigate and interpret how widespread macho culture is at Thorén framtid junior high school in Växjö and to investigate what kind of relevant criminological consequences a widespread macho culture can have. The material analyzed has been collected through interviews with staff at the school. The results showed that the macho culture exists, which is primarily shown through an idealization of physical strength and the use of words that allude to a person's gender or sexuality. The criminological consequencesthat were identified were primarily the risk of exclusion which in turn could lead to criminal acts. It turned out that there was a strong awareness of the problems with macho culture and early efforts were requested to counteract the problem.
