Omfattningen av välfärdsbrottsligheten har ökat och utvecklats till ett systematiskt samhällsproblem. Syftet för denna rapport är att öka förståelsen för hur välfärdsbrottsligheten förstås i ett kommunalt perspektiv och hur arbetet kring välfärdsbrottsligheten organiseras i ett kommunalt perspektiv.

The extent of crimes against the welfare system has increased and developed into a systematic societal problem. The purpose of this report is to enhance understanding of welfare crime from a municipal perspective as well as to elucidate municipal efforts to organise it.

Cecilia Fredriksson at the Center for Municipality Governance has published a new report on the organisation of work on welfare crime in the municipal sector. In this report, she dwells deeper into the concepts of welfare and welfare crime, the working methods against it, and the role of the municipality.
