“It’s like getting into a fox trap, it’s damn hard to get out of there and then you have a deep wound in the foot” : A qualitative study of youth unemployment and its relation on youth crime (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studiens syfte är att undersöka relationen mellan unga arbetslösa och kriminalitet, så kallad ungdomsbrottslighet. Studiens fokus ligger på relationen mellan arbetslöshet och kriminalitet enligt professionellas perspektiv och hur detta stämmer överens med tidigare forskning. Empirin har inhämtats genom kvalitativa intervjuer och analyserats med stigma som huvudsakligt perspektiv. Resultatet i studien tyder på att arbetslösheten har en stor inverkan på kriminalitet. Dock spelar flera andra faktorer in, såsom boende, hälsa, utbildning och uppväxt. Slutsatsen är att alla olika delar påverkar varandra och skapar en helhet samt att problemområdet är komplext, utanförskapet är genomgående.
