About the study

This report presents a survey of graffiti prevention work that has been conducted in Sweden over recent years. Proceeding from a directive, which involved conducting an inventory of graffiti prevention measures and analysing the following up of these measures, a questionnaire has been sent to all the local authorities in Sweden and to the borough administrations in the cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. A similar questionnaire was also sent to the country’s police authorities and to the police districts in Stockholm as well as the district police administrations in Gothenburg and Malmö. The response rate was very high, which suggests a strong interest in this issue. In addition, the National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå) has contacted a hundred or so individuals representing other organisations and companies, such as electricity companies, property owners and companies working in the transportation and public transport sectors, in order to chart the graffiti prevention work conducted by these actors.
