Den brottsförebyggande arbetsmarknaden - En komparativ fallstudie om brottsförebyggande arbete och arbetslivskriminalitet hos arbetsgivarorganisationen Byggföretagen och fackförbundet Byggnads

Abstract

Aims and objectives: The main purpose of this study is to widen the knowledge on how the different parties in the Swedish labour market work to prevent crime and how they are working with the new collective term ‘arbetslivskriminalitet’ (crimes committed in the labour market). Further I want to see if how they work with crime prevention reflects the Swedish model. Method and data: The study is based on semi-structured interviews of key informants complemented by document analysis and observations. Results: The results shows that Byggföretagen and Byggnads define arbetslivskriminalitet quite similar but focuses on different problems within it. It also points out that both Byggföretagen and Byggnads uses several crime preventive methods which are information and dialog and education but that they define control and sanctions as crime preventions as well which could be questioned. They argue that they should not do the authorities work. Their crime preventive work follows the Swedish model since the collective agreement (Byggavtalet) contains crime preventive methods as well as much of their work being self-regulated.
