About the study

This report addresses how the Swedish Migration Agency and its personnel are subject to unlawful influence in the form of harassment, threats, violence, vandalism, improper offers, and attempts at cronyism.

The report also describes the parties exercising unlawful influence who are encountered by the employees and the consequences of the attempts to influence.The report is based on Migration Agency employees’ response to a survey as well as on interviews, site visits, incident reports, police reports, and seminars.

Brå’s assessment is that the Migration Agency can, in several areas, develop and streamline the preventive work and its incident management routines. Among other things, the agency can work in order to counteract desperation, improve personnel training, and strengthen matter management and control systems so that the agency is better equipped to meet the risks of unlawful influence.
