Strategies against football-related disorder

At the request of the Government, Brå has carried out a survey of current knowledge about successful national and international strategies and methods for reducing the amount of disorder connected with sport.

The assignment also included proposing measures for improving the coordination between different actors at all levels. The assignment was carried out in collaboration with the National Swedish Police Board (RPS), which is the central administrative and supervisory authority for the police, led by the National Police Commissioner appointed by the Government, and other actors.

The questions raised are the following:

1. What are the different problems included in the concept of
   “disorder in conjunction with football”?
2. What are the crime-preventing and crime-fighting strategies we
   have today, and are they effective?
3. How can we improve the strategies we have today?
