Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur supportrar upplever mötet med polisen under fotbollsmatcher i Allsvenskan. Mötet med medborgare är en viktig del av polisens förtroendeskapande arbete och upplevelsen medborgare får kan ha konsekvenser för bilden av polismyndighetens legitimitet. Studien har en teoretisk ram bestående av processuell rättvisa och subkulturteori. Åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer har utförts för att fånga supportrarnas upplevelser av mötet med polisen. En tematisk analys av intervjuerna utfördes efter att de transkriberats. Samtliga intervjupersoner beskriver en eller flera situationer då bemötandet av polisen uppfattas som negativt. Vissa anser att polisens närvaro vid matcherna ligger på en lagom nivå medan andra anser att polisen borde lägga resurserna på annat som anses vara viktigare. Supportrarna menar att för många poliser kan trigga supportrar och skapa en aggressiv stämning. Vissa supportrar har uppfattat ett onödigt våldsanvändande från polisens sida. En bättre dialog mellan supportrar och polisen tros kunna leda till bättre förståelse parterna emellan och är därmed också en nyckel till att minska den existerande konflikten mellan dem.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study has been to investigate how supporters experience the encounter with the police during football matches in the Allsvenskan. The meeting with citizens is an important part of the police's trust-building work, and the experience citizens get can have consequences for the image of the police legitimacy. The study has a theoretical framework consisting of procedural justice and subculture theory. Eight semi-structured interviews have been conducted to capture the supporters' experiences of the encounter with the police. A thematic analysis of the interviews was performed after they were transcribed. All interviewees describe one or more situations where the treatment of the police is perceived as negative. Some believe that the police presence at the matches is at an adequate level, while others believe that the police should spend their resources on other things that are considered more important. The supporters believe that too many police officers can trigger supporters and create an aggressive atmosphere. Some supporters have perceived an unnecessary use of force by the police. A better dialogue between supporters and the police is believed to lead to better understanding between the parties and is therefore also a key to reducing the existing conflict between them.
