Efforts to save lives : A qualitative interview study on the stop shooting campaign in Malmö (English)
Abstract [en]

In 2017, an average of one person a month was shot dead in Malmö. Authorities in Sweden stated that more serious violence linked to criminal groups is increasing and measures are being implemented. Malmö's strategy was then to implement a method from the USA called GVI (Group Violence Intervention). The purpose was to reduce the serious violence through cooperation between the police, the municipality and civil society. The method was initially used as a time-limited project, but when the effect showed good results, it was decided to extend it. As a result, we want to investigate how the professionals within the project, Stop Shooting, perceived and thought about the project and its effects. The survey is qualitative and consists of eight semi-structured interviews with professionals within the project. The interviewees work in the police, probation and for Malmö Municipality. The results were interpreted and analyzed on the basis of previous theory and previous research, and the results showed that all in general were positive about the project and its effects, despite the fact that the effects of the project could be perceived in different ways. Finally, we resulted in the project's success being largely due to collaboration between the various actors. The strategy is partly proactive as it tries to counteract continued crime through informative contact with the criminals before they commit more crimes, and partly reactive because the heavier sanctions were introduced only when the criminal groups became the most violent.

Abstract [sv]

Under 2017 var det i genomsnitt en person i månaden som blev ihjälskjuten i Malmö. Myndigheter i Sverige konstaterade att grövre våldet kopplat till kriminella grupperingar ökade allt mer och åtgärder implementeras. Malmös strategi var då att implementera en metod från USA som kallades GVI (Group Violence Intervention). Syftet var att minska det grova våldet genom en samverkan mellan polis, kommun och civilsamhället. Metoden användes till en början som ett tidsbegränsat projekt men då effekten visade goda resultat har man beslutat om att förlänga den. Vi vill till följd av detta undersöka hur de yrkesverksamma inom projektet, Sluta skjut, uppfattat och tänkt om projektet och dess effekter. Undersökningen är kvalitativ och utgörs av åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med yrkesverksamma inom projektet. Intervjupersonerna arbetar inom polisen, frivården samt för Malmö Kommun. Resultatet tolkades och analyserades utifrån tidigare teori och tidigare forskning och resultatet visade att samtliga överlag var positivt ställda till projektet och dess effekter trots att effekterna av projektet kunde uppfattas på olika sätt. Slutligen drar vi slutsatsen att projektets framgång till största delen har berott på samverkan mellan de olika aktörerna. Strategin är dels proaktiv då den försöker motverka fortsatt kriminalitet genom informativ kontakt med de kriminella innan de begår fler brott, dels reaktiv eftersom de grövre sanktionerna infördes först när de kriminella grupperingarna blivit de mest våldsamma.
