Den första tiden efter frigivning beskrivs som kritisk gällande återfall i brott då det innebär hinder och svårigheter i att anpassa sig till en konform livsstil. När det gäller dessa hinder kan frivilligorganisationer bidra till att minska återfall i brott. Följande studie syftar till att bidra till kunskap om att förebygga återfall i brott efter avslutad fängelseverkställighet. Studien avser att undersöka KRIS (Kriminellas Revansch I Samhället) återfallsförebyggande arbete för individer med en bakgrund av kriminalitet och/eller beroendeproblematik. Vidare att undersöka hur KRIS samarbete med Kriminalvården fungerar och kan utvecklas. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och baseras på sju semistrukturerade intervjuer, vilka har analyserats tematiskt. Studiens fynd visade på att stöd från likasinnade personer som delar liknande erfarenheter av kriminalitet och/eller beroendeproblematik var en central del i vad som ansågs vara viktigt i KRIS arbete. Vidare ansågs KRIS hjälp med personlig utveckling vara betydelsefull när det kommer till motivation och bibehållande av en konform livsstil. KRIS samarbete med Kriminalvården fungerade väl enligt Förening Två, men Förening Ett hade inte ett pågående samarbete på grund av coronapandemin och en omorganisation. Däremot betonades en efterfrågan kring Kriminalvårdens bemötande av individer som avslutat en fängelseverkställighet och deras behov av socialt och instrumentellt stöd., The first period after release from prison is described as critical regarding recidivism. There are obstacles and difficulties in returning to a conformist lifestyle. In regard to these obstacles, voluntary organizations can play a part in helping reduce recidivism. The following study aims to contribute to knowledge about preventing recidivism after prison terms have been completed. The study intends to examine KRIS’s relapse prevention work for ex-criminals and/or people who suffer from addiction. Furthermore, to investigate how KRIS’s (Criminal’s Revenge In Society) collaboration with the Swedish Correctional Service functions and can be developed. The study has a qualitative approach and is based on seven semi-structured interviews analyzed through thematic analysis. The study found that support through community with like-minded people who shared similar experiences of crime and/or addiction became a central and recurring point in what was important when a person sought help from KRIS. Furthermore, KRIS’s contribution to personal development was important when it came to motivation and the maintenance of a conventional lifestyle. The associations’ cooperation with the Swedish Correctional Service worked well according to one organization, but the other did not have an ongoing cooperation due to the corona pandemic and a reorganization. However, there was a demand regarding the treatment of individuals and their need for social and instrumental support.

In the spring of 2022 Sweden experienced several riots among counter-protesters in connection with a Danish politician's Islamophobic manifestations. A societal debate was sparked around control, police capabilities and the limits of freedom of expression. The purpose of the current study is to, based on Anne Nassauer's theory from 2019 of paths to protest violence, with the support of previous research, understand protest violence in a Swedish context - more specifically the riots that took place over the Easter weekend of 2022. It is thus mainly interactions between protesters and the police that are put into focus in the current essay. The material for the study consists of a total of five district court judgments, i.e. court documents. The analysis method is a document analysis where the material is coded to be understood based on the purpose of the study. From the analysis of the study the violence and its origins could be understood by combinations of interactions in the form of spatial incursion, communication failures and escalation signals. Escalation and provocation such as masking, property damage has been identified as contributing factors to the violent riots. Further, the analysis found that emotional dynamics, particularly fear and tension, played a large role in the riots.
