FRÅN TANKE TILL ÅTGÄRD: HUR IDÉER FORMAR EN KOMMUNAL BROTTSFÖREBYGGANDE STRATEGI : En jämförelse mellan Västerås stad och Örebro kommun

This study aims to deepen the understanding of how safety and crime prevention issues are framed in municipal policy documents. By focusing on Västerås and Örebro, two Swedish municipalities relatively impacted by crime, the study analyzes the portrayal of the problem and the underlying ideas and strategies shaping the decision-making proces. Utilizing interviews and WPR-approach, the research contributes to the comprehension of crime development and safety by examining the approaches of local policies. Applying a comparative design to identify similarities and differences between Västerås and Örebro, a critical discourse analysis using the WPR-approach reveals central ideas and perspectives in the municipalities' policy documents. Despite fundamental similarities in intentions, the conclusions identify differences between the two municipalities in terms of approaches and understanding of crime issues. The study highlights ideas centered around children and youth, long-term preventive measures, and collaboration among stakeholders as defining features of the municipalities' strategies, further enriching the understanding of crime development and safety through the examination of local policy approaches.
