Abstract [en]

Background: In Sweden, organized crime has become more varied and cross-border which has led to change in the nature and the scope of organized crime. The national crime prevention program – Tillsammans mot brott (TMB) was presented by the Government of Sweden to increase security and prevent crime. 

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate how municipal officials experience barriers and facilitators regarding the implementation of the national crime prevention program at local level.

Methods: A qualitative method was used to gain in-depth knowledge about the study aim. A purposive sampling method was used, and a semi-structed interviews were conducted with eight participants from eight different municipalities. An inductive content analysis was used, and an ecological framework was applied to analyze the collected data. 

Result: The result showed that the municipality officials’ experience of barriers and facilitators regarding the implementing TMB could be divided into two categories; (i) internal work processes for implementing crime prevention initiatives, and (ii) external work direction within crime prevention collaboration. 

Conclusion: A public health approach enables to tackle innovative and holistic the occurrence and consequences of crimes since it involves working evidence-based with a range of stakeholders to address the multicausal origins of crimes
