Crime prevention work in Sweden

Current status and development needs 2023. English Summary

This report aims to provide a broad picture of how crime prevention work has been conducted and developed locally, regionally and nationally in relation to the objectives described in Sweden’s national crime prevention programme.

Since 2017, Brå has been commissioned by the Swedish government to produce an annual report on crime prevention work in Sweden. The report, like the crime prevention programme, focuses on actors who use different types of measures to prevent crime and criminality at various levels. The report is based primarily on data from surveys, interviews and document studies conducted by Brå, although it also describes matters identified through Brå’s national monitoring, networking and other ongoing work.
