After Märta Måås-Fjetterström’s death, Barbro Nilsson took over the role as artistic direc

While the Swedish debate on crime often centers around crime, punishment, and offenders, there is notably less attention dedicated to those who are exposed to crime. This discrepancy is particularly evident in the lack of comprehensive theories explaining who becomes a victim. This thesis investigates whether a pattern can be identified between what kind of background or exposure of crime and bein
